We have performed reverse gate bias stress tests on AlGaN/GaN-on-Si Heterostructure FETs (HFETs). The shift of threshold voltage ($V_{th}$) and the reduction of on-current were observed from the stressed devices. These changes of the device parameters were not permanent. We investigated the temporary behavior of the stressed devices by analyzing the temperature dependence of the instabilities and TCAD simulation. As the baseline temperature of the electrical stress tests increased, the changes of the $V_{th}$ and the on-current were decreased. The on-current reduction was caused by the positive shift of the $V_{th}$ and the increased resistance of the gate-to-source and the gate-to-drain access region. Our experimental results suggest that electron-trapping effect into the shallow traps in devices is the main cause of observed instabilities.

Metal-ferroelectric-insulator-semoiconductor field effect transistor (MFISFETs) were fabricated using CMOS processes. The Pt/SBT/NO combined layers were etched for forming a conformal gate by using Ti/Cr metal masks and a two step etching method, By the method, we were able to fabricate a small-sized gate with the dimension of $16/4{\mu}textrm{m}$ in the width/length of gate. It has been chosen the non-self aligned source and drain implantation process, We have deposited inter-layer dielectrics(ILD) by low pressure chemical vapor deposition(LPCVD) at $380^{circ}C$ after etching the gate structure and the threshold voltage of p-channel MFISFETs were about 1.0 and -2.1V, respectively. It was also observed that the current difference between the $I_{ON}$(on current) and $I_{OFF}$(off current) that is very important in sensing margin, is more that 100 times in $I_{D}-V_{G}$ hysteresis curve.

일반적으로 SOI 소자에 대한 연구는 film 두께. 채널길이 그리고 doping 농도에 따라 폭넓게 연구되어 왔다. 제안한 소스/드레인 비대칭 SOI 소자는 일반적인 LDD SOI 소자와 비교하여 항복전압은 거의 비슷한 반면. 전류 구동능력은 훨씬향상된 소자를 구현 시킬수 있었다. 비대칭 SOI 소자를 설계하기 위하여 최적화된 공정조건을 모의 실험용 TCAD Simulator (SILVACO)를 이용하여 검증하였다. 검증된 공정 변수를 이용하여 모의 실험을 해보았더니 항복전압과 전류 구동능력에서 좋은 특성을 나타내었다.

In the present work three dimensional process and device simulations were employed to study the performance variations with RTA. It is observed that with the increase in RTA temperature, the arsenic dopants from the source /drain region diffuse laterally under the spacer region and simultaneously acceptors (Boron) are redistributed from the central axis region of the fin towards the Si/SiO2 interface. As a consequence both drive current and peak cut-off frequency of an n-FinFET are observed to improve with RTA temperatures. Volume inversion and hence the flow of carries through the central axis region of the fin due to reduced scattering was found behind the performance improvements with increasing RTA temperature.

To apply the Power MOSFET to the high powerd circuits, the parallel operation of the Power MOSFET must be considered because of their low power rating. This means, in practical applications, design methods for the parallel operations are required. However, it is very difficult to investigate the problem of parallel operations by directly changing the internal parameters of the MOSFET. Thus, in this paper, the effects of internal parameters for the parallel operation are investigated using SPICE program which is often used and known that the program is very reliable. The investigation results show that while the gate resistance and gate capacitances are the parameters which affect to the dynamic switching operations, the drain and source resistances are the parameters which affect to the steady-state current unbalances. Through this investigation, the design methods for the parallel operation of the MOSFET are suggested, which, in turn, contributes to the practical use of Power MOSFETs.

Using a thermally-crosslinkable organosiloxane-based organic-inorganic hybrid material, solution processable gate dielectric layer for organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) have been fabricated. The hybrid dielectrics are synthesized by the sol-gel process, followed by the heat-treatment at $190{\bullet}\;.{\bullet}$ To investigate the electrical property of hybrid dielectric, leakage current behavior and capacitance were measured. To fabricate coplanar-type OTFTs, Au/Cr electrode was deposited onto the heavily doped silicon substrate with the organic-inorganic hybrid dielectric layer and then ${\alpha},{\omega}-dihexylquaterthiophene$ was drop-cast between source and drain electrical performance of the fabricated transistor.

The OTFT performance depends strongly on the interfacial properties between an organic semiconductor and ${\alpha}$ metal electrode. The contact resistance is critical to the current flow in the device. The contact resistance arises mainly from the Schottky barrier formation due to the work function difference between the semiconductor and electrodes. We doped pentacene/source-drain interfaces with $F_4TCNQ$ (2,3,5,6-Tetrafluoro-7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane), resulting in p-doped region at the SD contacts, in order to solve this problem. We found that the mobility increased and the threshold voltage decreased.

The optimal high temperature processing conditions for the formation of Ohmic contact of Ti/Al/Pt/Au multiple layers were established for the fabrication of n$^{+}$-GaN/AlGaN/GaN HFET device. Contact resistivity as low as 3.4x10$^{-6}$ ohm-$\textrm{cm}^2$ was achieved by the annealing of the sample at 100$0^{\circ}C$ for 10 sec. using the RTA (Rapid Thermal Annealing) system. The fabricated HFET (Heterostructure Field Effect Transistor) with a structure of n'-GaN/undoped AlGaN/undoped GaN exhibited a low knee voltage of 3.5 V and a maximum source-drain current density of 180 mA/mm at Vg=0V.V.

We studied the dependence of the performance of schottky barrier metal-oxide-field effect transistors(SB MOSFETs) on the work function of source/drain metals. A strong impact of the various work functions and the light wavelengths on the transistor characteristics is found and explained using experimental data. We used an insulator of a high thickness (100nm) and back gate issues in SOI substrate, subthreshold swing was measured to 300~400[mV/dec] comparing with a ideal subthreshold swing of 60[mV/dec]. Excellent characteristics of Al/Si was demonstrated higher on/off current ratios of ${\sim}10^7$ than others. In addition, extensive photoresponse analysis has been performed using halogen and deuterium light sources(200<$\lambda$<2000nm).

In this paper, Poly silicon thin-film transistors (poly-Si TFTs) with employed the SPC (Solid phase crystallization) and ELA (Excimer laser annealing) methods on glass panel substrate are fabricated to investigate the electrical poperies. Poly-Si TFTs have recess-channel structure with formated source/drain regions by LPCVD n+ poly Si in low $650^{\circ}C$ temperature. the ELA-TFT show higher on/off current ratio and subthreshold swing than a-Si and SPC TFT that therefore, these results showed that the ELA-TFT might be beneficial for practical embedded TFT memory device application.
