Transparent thin film transistors were fabricated on $n^+$-Si wafers coated by $Al_2O_3/SiO_2$. Zinc tin oxide (ZTO) films deposited by rf magnetron sputtering were employed for active layers. The mobility (${\mu}s$), threshold voltage ($V_T$), and subthreshold swing (SS) dependances on ZTO thickness were analyzed. The $V_T$ decreased with increasing ZTO thickness. The ${\mu}s$ raised from $5.1cm^2/Vsec$ to $27.0cm^2/Vsec$ by increasing ZTO thickness from 7 nm to 12 nm, and then decreased with ZTO thickness above 12 nm. The SS was proportional to ZTO thickness.

In this paper, the subthreshold swings for doping distribution in the channel have been analyzed in double gate MOSFET(DGMOSFET). The DGMOSFET is extensively been studying since it can lessen the short channel effects(SCEs) as next -generation nano device. The degradation of subthreshold swing(SS) known as SCEs has greatly influenced on application of digital devices, and has been analyzed for structural parameter and variation of channel doping profile in DGMOSFET. The analytical model of Poisson equation has been derived from nonuniform doping distribution for DGMOSFET. To verify potential and subthreshold swing model based on this analytical Poisson's equation, the results have been compared with those of the numerical Poisson's equation, and subthreshold swing for DGMOSFET has been analyzed using these models.

Using TCAD simulation, performances of tunnel field-effect transistors (TFETs) was investigated. Drain current-gate voltage types of TFET structure such as single-gate TFET (SG-TFET), double-gate TFET (DG-TFET), L-shaped TFET (L-TFET), and Pocket-TFET (P-TFET) are simulated, and then as dielectric constant of gate oxide and channel length are varied their subthreshold swing (SS) and on-current ($I_{on}$) are compared. On-currents and subthreshold swings of the L-TFET and P-TFET structures with high electric constant and line tunneling were 10 times and 20 mV/dec more than those of the SG-TFET and DG-TFET using point tunneling, respectively. Especially, it is shown that hump effect which dominant current element changes from point tunneling to line tunneling, is disappeared in P-TFET with high-k gate oxide such as $HfO_2$. The analysis of 4 types of TFET structure provides guidelines for the design of new types of TFET structure which concentrate on line tunneling by minimizing point tunneling.

In this paper, current-voltage characteristics of various types of Nanosheet FET (NSFET) and FinFET are simulated with 3D device simulator.

Both of threshold voltage and drain current of NSFET are higher than those of FinFET. The subthreshold voltage swing (SS) of NSFET is steeper than that of FinFET.

CMOS의 최종형태로써 Gate-All-Around(GAA) Silicon Nanowire(NW)가 각광받고 있다. 이 논문에서 NW FET(Field Effect Transistor)의 채널 길이와 NW의 폭과 같은 size에 따른 특성변화를 실제 실험 data와 NW FET 특성분석 simulation을 이용해서 비교해보았다. MOSFET(Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor)의 소형화에 따른 쇼트 채널 효과(short channel effect)에 의한 threshold voltage($V_{th}$), Drain Induced Barrier Lowering(DIBL), subthreshold swing(SS) 또한 비교하였다. 이에 더하여, 기존의 상용툴로 NW를 해석한 시뮬레이션 결과와도 비교해봄으로써 NW의 size scaling에 대한 EDISON NW 해석 simulation의 정확도를 파악해보았다.

단층 $MoS_2$와 단층 실리콘을 채널 물질로 사용한 TMD FET과 UTB FET의 소자 특성 분석 시뮬레이션을 진행하였다. TMD FET과 UTB FET의 채널과 oxide 두께를 변화시켜가며 각 각의 게이트 전압과 드레인 전류의 특성과 subthreshold swing 등을 분석하였으며, 채널과 oxide 두께가 얇을수록 단채널 효과가 줄어든다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 얇은 채널을 사용하는 트랜지스터의 최적 구동 조건은 채널과 oxide 층의 두께가 1 nm 정도 되어야 한다는 시뮬레이션 결과를 바탕으로 TMD FET과 UTB FET의 소자 특성을 상호 비교해 보았으며 TMD FET의 SS값이 더 좋다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this paper, the device performance with the structure of Nanosheet FET (NSFET) and FinFET is simulated through a three-dimensional device simulator. Current-voltage characteristics of NSFET and FinFET were simulated with respect to channel doping concentrations, and the performance such as threshold voltage and subthreshold swing extracted from the current-voltage characteristics was compared. NSFET flows more drain current and has a higher threshold voltage in current-voltage characteristics depending on channel doping concentration than that of FinFET. The subthreshold voltage swing (SS) of NSFET is steeper than that of FinFET

Current-voltage characteristics of source-overlapped gate tunnel field-effect transistor (SOG-TFET) with different channel doping concentration are proposed. Due to the gaussian doping in which the channel region near the source is highly doped and that far from the source is lightly doped, the ambipolar current was reduced, compared with the uniformly-doped SOG-TFET. On-current is almost similar in P-P-N and P-I-N structure but subthreshold swing (SS) of P-P-N TFET enhanced 5 times higher than those of P-I-N TFET. off-current and ambiploar current of the proposed SOG-TFET decrease 10 times and 100 times than those of the uniformly-doped SOG-TFET.

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 undoped Si channel for SCEs control, ale being validated for sub-20nm scaling. A novel analytical transport model for the subthreshold mode of DGMOSFETs is proposed in this paper. The model enables analysis of short channel effect such as the subthreshold swing(SS), the threshold voltage roil-off$({\Delta}V_{th})$ and the drain induced barrier lowering(DIBL). The proposed model includes the effects of thermionic emission and quantum tunneling of carriers through the source-drain barrier. An approximative solution of the 2D Poisson equation is used for the distribution of electric potential, and Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin approximation is used for the tunneling probability. The new model is used to investigate the subthreshold characteristics of a double gate MOSFET having the gate length in the nanometer range $(5-20{\sim}nm)$ with ultra thin gate oxide and channel thickness. The model is verified by comparing the subthreshold swing and the threshold voltage roll-off with 2D numerical simulations. The proposed model is used to design contours for gate length, channel thickness, and gate oxide thickness.
