Models and simulations of gate tunneling current for thinoxide MOSFETs and Double-Gate SOIs are discussed. A guideline in design of leaky MOS capacitors is proposed and resonant gate tunneling current in DG SOI simulated based on quantum-mechanicalmodels. Gate tunneling current in fully-depleted, double-gate SOI MOSFETs is characterized based on quantum-mechanical principles. The simulated $I_G-V_G$ of double-gate SOI has negative differential resistance like that of the resonant tunnel diodes.

Density-gradient 방법을 이용하여 게이트의 양자효과가 double-gate MOSFET의 단채널 효과에 미치는 영향을 2차원으로 분석하였다. 게이트와 sidewall 산화막 경계면에서 발생하는 2차원 양자공핍 현상에 의하여 게이트 코너에 큰 전하 다이폴이 형성되며 subthreshold 영역에서 다이폴의 크기가 증가하고 classical 결과에 비하여 전자 농도와 전압 분포가 매우 다름을 알 수 있었다. Evanescent-nude분석을 통하여 게이트의 양자효과가 소자의 단채널 효과를 증가시키며 이는 기판에서의 양자효과에 의한 영향보다 크다는 것을 확인하였다. 양자효과에 의하여 게이트 코너에 형성되는 전하 다이폴이 단채널 효과를 증가시키는 원인임을 밝혔다.

The analytical transport model in subthreshold regime for double gate MOSFET has been presented to analyze the short channel effects such as subthreshold swing, threshold voltage roll-off and drain induced barrier lowering. The present approach includes the quantum tunneling of carriers through the source-drain barrier. Poisson equation is used for modeling thermionic emission current, and Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin approximations are applied for modeling quantum tunneling current. This model has been used to investigate the subthreshold operations of double gate MOSFET having the gate length of the nanometer range with ultra thin gate oxide and channel thickness under sub-20nm. Compared with results of two dimensional numerical simulations, the results in this study show good agreements with those for subthreshold swing and threshold voltage roll-off. Note the short channel effects degrade due to quantum tunneling, especially in the gate length of below 10nm, and DGMOSFETs have to be very strictly designed in the regime of below 10nm gate length since quantum tunneling becomes the main transport mechanism in the subthreshold region.

In this paper, we present a compact model of gate-voltage-dependent quantum effects in short-channel surrounding-gate (SG) metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs). We based the model on a two-dimensional (2-D) analytical solution of Poisson's equation using cylindrical coordinates. We used the model to investigate the electrostatic potential and current sensitivities of various gate lengths ($L_g$) and radii (R). Schr$\ddot{o}$dinger's equation was solved analytically for a one-dimensional (1-D) quantum well to include quantum effects in the model. The model takes into account quantum effects in the inversion region of the SG MOSFET using a triangular well. We show that the new model is in excellent agreement with the device simulation results in all regions of operation.

The aim of this work is to investigate and study the quantum effects in the modeling of nanoscale symmetric double-gate InAlAs/InGaAs/InP HEMT (High Electron Mobility Transistor). In order to do so, the carrier concentration in InGaAs channel at gate lengths ($L_g$) 100 nm and 50 nm, are modelled by a density gradient model or quantum moments model. The simulated results obtained from the quantum moments model are compared with the available experimental results to show the accuracy and also with a semi-classical model to show the need for quantum modeling. Quantum modeling shows major variation in electron concentration profiles and affects the device characteristics. The two triangular quantum wells predicted by the semi-classical model seem to vanish in the quantum model as bulk inversion takes place. The quantum effects thus become essential to incorporate in nanoscale heterostructure device modeling.

Quantum computing is regarded as one of the revolutionary computing technologies, and has attracted considerable attention in various fields, such as finance, chemistry, and medicine. One of the promising candidates to realize fault tolerant quantum computing is quantum dot qubits, due to their expectation of high scalability. In this study, we briefly introduce the international tendencies for quantum dot quantum computing. First, the current status of quantum dot gate operations is summarized. In most systems, over 99% of single qubit gate operation is realized, and controlled-not and controlled-phase gates as 2-qubit entangling gates are demonstrated in quantum dots. Second, several approaches to expand the number of qubits are introduced, such as 1D and 2D arrays and long-range interaction. Finally, the current quantum dot systems are evaluated for conducting quantum computing in terms of their number of qubits and gate accuracies. Quantum dot quantum computing is expected to implement scalable quantum computing. In the noisy intermediate-scale quantum era, quantum computing will expand its applications, enabling upcoming questions such as a fault-tolerant quantum computing architecture and error correction scheme to be addressed.

In this work, we investigate the quantum effects exhibited from ultra-thin GAA(gate-all-around) Nanowire FETs for Sub 14nm Technology. We face designing challenges particularly short channel effects (SCE). However traditional MOSFET SCE models become invalid due to unexpected quantum effects. In this paper, we investigated various performance factors of the GAA Nanowire FET structure, which is promising future device. We observe a variety of quantum effects that are not seen when large scale. Such are source drain tunneling due to short channel lengths, drastic threshold voltage increase caused by quantum confinement for small channel area, leakage current through thin gate oxide by tunneling, induced source barrier lowering by fringing field from drain enhanced by high k dielectric, and lastly the I-V characteristic dependence on channel materials and transport orientations owing to quantum confinement and valley splitting. Understanding these quantum phenomena will guide to reducing SCEs for future sub 14nm devices.

양자점 셀룰라 오토마타(QCA: quantum-dot cellular automata)는 나노 크기의 셀을 이용하여 다양한 연산을 수행하며, 매우 빠른 연산속도와 적은 전력손실로 차세대 기술로 떠오르고 있다. 본 논문에서는 QCA 상에서 새로운 유니버셜 게이트(universal gate)를 제안한다. 또한, 유니버셜 게이트를 이용하여 시공간 효율성 측면에서 우수한 XOR 게이트를 제안한다. 유니버셜 게이트는 자기 자신으로 모든 기본 논리 게이트를 만들어 낼 수 있는 게이트이다. 한편, 제안된 유니버셜 게이트는 기본 셀과 회전된 셀을 활용하여 설계한다. 제안된 유니버셜 게이트의 회전된 셀은 3-입력 다수결게이트 구조의 중앙부에 위치한다. 3-입력 다수결 게이트를 이용하여 XOR 게이트를 설계할 때는 5개 이상의 3-입력 다수결 게이트가 사용되지만, 본 논문에서는 3개의 유니버셜 게이트를 사용하여 XOR 게이트를 제안한다. 제안하는 XOR 게이트는 기존의 XOR 게이트보다 사용된 게이트 수가 줄었으며 설계 면적이나 소요 클럭면에서 우수함을 확인할 수 있다.

다중제어 Toffoli(multiple-control Toffoli, MCT) 게이트는 원시 게이트에 의존적인 양자 기술을 필요로 하는 매크로 레벨 다치(multiple-valued) 게이트이며, Galois Field sum-of-product(GFSOP)형 양자논리 함수의 합성에 사용되어 왔다. 가역 논리는 저전력 회로 설계를 위한 양자계산(quantum computing, QC)에서 매우 중요하다. 본 논문은 먼저 GF4 가역 승산기를 제안한 후 GF4 승산기 기반의 quaternary MCT 게이트 실현을 제안하였다. MCT 게이트 실현을 위한 비교에서 제안한 MCT 게이트가 다중제어 입력이 증가할수록 종전의 작은 MCT 게이트 합성 방법보다 원시 게이트 수와 게이트 지연을 상당량 줄일 수 있음을 보였다.
