In this paper, the subthreshold characteristics have been alanyzed using MicroTec4.0 for double gate MOSFET(DGMOSFET). The technology for characteristic analysis of device for high integration is changing rapidly. Therefore to understand characteristics of high-integrated device by computer simulation and fabricate the device having such characteristics became one of very important subjects. The oxide thickness and channel thickness in DG MOSFET determines threshold voltage and extensively influences on Ss(Subthreshold swing). We have investigated the threshold voltage and Ss(Subthreshold swing) characteristics according to variation of channel thickness from 1nm to 3nm in this study.

The subthreshold swing (SS) of an asymmetric junctionless double gate (AJLDG) MOSFET is analyzed by the use of Gaussian function. In the asymmetric structure, the thickness of the top/bottom oxide film and the flat-band voltages of top gate (V_fbf) and bottom gate (V_fbb) could be made differently, so the change in the SS for these factors is analyzed with the projected range and standard projected deviation which are parameters for the Gaussian function. An analytical subthreshold swing model is presented from the Poisson's equation, and it is shown that this model is in a good agreement with the numerical model. As a result, the SS changes linearly according to the geometric mean of the top and bottom oxide film thicknesses, and if the projected range is less than half of the silicon thickness, the SS decreases as the top gate oxide film is smaller. Conversely, if the projected range is bigger than a half of the silicon thickness, the SS decreases as the bottom gate oxide film is smaller. In addition, the SS decreases as V_fbb-V_fbf increases when the projected range is near the top gate, and the SS decreases as V_fbb-V_fbf decreases when the projected range is near the bottom gate. It is necessary that one should pay attention to the selection of the top/bottom oxide thickness and the gate metal in order to reduce the SS when designing an AJLDG MOSFET.

An analytical subthreshold swing (SS) model has been presented for double gate MOSFET(DGMOSFET) in this study. The results calculated by this model are more precise for about 10nm channel length and thickness than those derived from the previous models. The results of this model are compared with Medici simulation to varify the validity of this model, and good agreementes have been obtained. The changes of SS have been investigated for various channel lengths, channel thicknesses and gate oxide thicknesses using this model, given that these parameters are very important in design of DGMOSFET. This demonstrates that the proposed model provides useful data for design of nano-scale DGMOSFET. It is Known that the SS is improved to smaller ratios of channel thickness vs channel length and is smaller in very thin oxides. New gate dielectric materials with high permittivity have to be developed to enable design of nano-scale DGMOSFET.

We analyzed the relationship between center potential and subthreshold swing (SS) of Junctionless Cylindrical Surrounding Gate (JLCSG) and Junctionless Double Gate (JLDG) MOSFET. The SS was obtained using the analytical potential distribution and the center potential, and SSs were compared and investigated according to the change of channel dimension. As a result, we observed that the change in central potential distribution directly affects the SS. As the channel thickness and oxide thickness increased, the SS increased more sensitively in JLDG. Therefore, it was found that JLCSG structure is more effective to reduce the short channel effect of the nano MOSFET.

The structure guide lines of pocket tunnel field effect transistor(TFET) considering Line and Point tunneling are introduced. As the pocket doping concentration or thickness increase, on-current $I_{on}$ increases. As the pocket thickness or gate insulator increase, subthreshold swing(SS) increases. Optimal structure reducing the hump effects should be proposed in order to enhance SS.

The effect of channel doping on L-shaped Tunneling Field-Effect Transistors (TFETs) have been investigated by 2D TCAD simulation. When the source doping is over $10^{20}cm^{-3}$, the subthreshold swing (SS) is abruptly decreased, and when drain doping concentration is below $10^{18}cm^{-3}$, the leakage current in the negative voltage is reduced.

This paper introduces about the structure guide lines of pocket tunneling Field effect transistor. As the pocket length or thickness increase, on-current $I_{on}$ increases. As the pocket thickness is less than 3nm, subthreshold swing (SS) increase. As the dielectric constants of the gate insulator increases, the performance of on-current and subthreshold swing enhances.

The characteristics of tunnel field-effect transistor(TFET) structure with source-overlapped gate was investigated using a TCAD simulations. Tunneling is mostly divided into line-tunneling and point-tunneling, and line-tunneling is higher performance than point-tunneling in terms of subthreshold swing(SS) and on-current. In this paper, from the simulation results of source-overlapped gate length effects at silicon(Si), germanium(Ge), Si-Ge hetero TFET structure, the guideline of optimal structure with highest performance are proposed.

The double gate(DG) MOSFET is a promising candidate to further extend the CMOS scaling and provide better control of short channel effect(SCE). DGMOSFETs, having ultra thin updoped Si channel for SCEs control, are being validated for sub-20nm scaling, A channel effects such as the subthreshold swing(SS), and the threshold voltage roll-off(${\Delta}V_{th}$). The propsed model includes the effects of thermionic emission and quantum tunneling of carriers through the source-drain barrier. The proposed model is used to design contours for gate length, channel thickness, and gate oxide thickness.

Asymmetric double gate(DG) MOSFET has the different top and bottom gate oxides thicknesses. It is analyzed the deviation of subthreshold swing(SS) and conduction path for the ratio of top and bottom gate oxide thickness of asymmetric DGMOSFET. SS varied along with conduction path, and conduction path varied with top and bottom gate oxide thickness. The asymmetric DGMOSFET became valuable device to reduce the short channel effects like degradation of SS. SSs were obtained from analytical potential distribution by Poisson's equation, and it was analyzed how the ratio of top and bottom oxide thickness influenced on conduction path and SS. SSs and conduction path were greatly influenced by the ratio of top and bottom gate oxide thickness. Bottom gate voltage cause significant influence on SS, and SS are changed with a range of 200 mV/dec for $0<t_{ox2}/t_{ox1}<5$ under bottom voltage of 0.7 V.
