A purely analytical model for HEMT's based on a two dimensional charge control simul-ation[4] is proposed. In this model proper treatment of diffusion effect of electron transport along a 2-DEG (two dimensional electron gas) channel is perfoemed. This diffusion effect is shown to effectively increase the bulk mibility and threshold voltage of the I-V curves compared to the existing models. The channel thickness and gate capacitance are expressed as functions of gate voltages covering subthreshold characteristics of HEMT's analytically. By introducing the finite channel opening and an effiective channel-length modulation, the solpe of the saturation region of the I-V curves ws modeled. The smooth transition of the I-V curves at linear-to-saturation regions of the I-V curves was possible using the continuous Troffimenkoff-type of field dependent mobility. Furthermore, a correction factor f was introduced to account for the finite transition section forming between a GCA and a saturated section. This factor removes large discrepancies in the saturation region of the I-V curve predicted by existing l-dimensional models.

We have investigated the threshold voltage shifts(${\Delta}Vth$) and drain current level shift (${\Delta}Ids$) in subthreshold region of a-Si:H TFTs induced by DC Bias (Vgs and Vds) - Temperature stress (BTS) condition. We plotted the transfer curves and the ${\Delta}Vth$ contour maps as Vds-Vds stress bias and Temperature to examine the severe damage cases on TFTs. Also, by drawing out the time-dependent transfer curve (Ids-Vgs) in the region of $10^{-8}\;{\sim}\;10^{-13}$ (A) current level, we can estimate the failure time of TFTs in a operating condition.

The effects of electrical on n-channel offset gated poly-Si TFT's have been investigated. It is observed that the electrical field near the drain region in offset devices is smaller than that of conventional device by simulation results. The variation rate of threshold voltage and subthreshold slope decrease with increasing the offset length because of lowering the electric field near the drain region. The offset gated poly-Si TFT's have been probed effective in reducing the degradation rate of device performance under electrical stressing.

The effects of electrical positive stress on n-channel LDD and offset structured poly-Si TFT\`s have been systematically investigated in order to analyze the transfer curve\`s shift mechanism. It has been found that the LDD and offset regions behave as a series resistance that reduce the electric field near drain. Hot carrier effects are reduced because of these results. After electrical stress transfer curve’s shift and variation of the off-current are dependent upon the offset length rather than offset region’s doping concentration. Variation of the subthreshold slope is dependent upon offset region’s doping concentration as well as offset length.

In this paper, the extraction and optimization of SPICE parameters on SONOSFET for NVSM circuit design were discussed. SONOSFET devices with different channel widths and lengths were fabricated using conventional 1.2 um n-well CMOS process. And, electric properties for dc parameters and capacitance parameters were measured on wafer. SPICE parameters for the SONOSFET were extracted from the UC Berkeley level 3 model for the MOSFET. And, local optimization of Ids-Vgs curves has carried out in the bias region of subthreshold, linear, saturation respectively. Finally, the extracted SPICE parameters were optimized globally by comparing drain current (Ids), output conductance(gds), transconductance(gm) curves with theoretical curves in whole region of bias conditions. It is shown that the conventional model for the MOSFET can be applied to the SONOSFET modeling except sidewalk effect.

A large leakage current may be one of the critical issues for poly-silicon thin film transistors(poly-Si TFTs) for LCD applications. In order to reduce the leakage current of poly-Si TFTs, several offset gated structures have been reported. However, those devices, where the offset length in the source region is not same as that in the drain region, exhibit the asymmetric electrical performances such as the threshold voltage shift and the variation of the subthreshold slope. The different offset length is caused by the additional mask step for the conventional offset structures. Also the self-aligned implantation may not be applicable due to the mis-alignment problem. In this paper, we propose a new fabrication method for poly-Si TFTs with a self-aligned offset gated structure by employing a photo resistor reflow process. Compared with the conventional poly-Si TFTs, the device is consist of two gate electrodes, of which one is the entitled main gate where the gate bias is employed and the other is the entitled subgate which is separate from both sides of the main gate. The poly-Si channel layer below the offset oxide is protected from the injected ion impurities for the source/drain implantation and acts as an offset region of the proposed device. The key feature of our new device is the offset lesion due to the offset oxide. Our experimental results show that the offset region, due to the photo resistor reflow process, has been successfully obtained in order to fabricate the offset gated poly-Si TFTs. The advantages of the proposed device are that the offset length in the source region is the same as that in the drain region because of the self-aligned implantation and the proposed device does not require any additional mask process step.

In this work, Er-silicided SB-SOI nMOSFET and Pt-silicided SB-SOI pMOSFET have been fabricated to investigate the current-voltage characteristics of Schottky barrier SOI nMOS and pMOS at elevated temperature. The dominant current transport mechanism of SB nMOS and pMOS is discussed using the measurement results of the temperature dependence of drain current with gate voltages. It is observed that the drain current increases with the increase of operating temperature at low gate voltage due to the increase of thermal emission and tunneling current. But the drain current is decreased at high gate voltage due to the decrease of the drift current. It is observed that the ON/Off current ratio is decreased due to the increased tunneling current from the drain to channel region although the ON current is increased at elevated temperature. The threshold voltage variation with temperature is smaller and the subthreshold swing is larger in SB-SOI nMOS and pMOS than in SOI devices or in bulk MOSFETs.

This paper describes a new linear operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) and its application to the 9th-order Bessel filter. To improve the linearity of the OTA, we employ a mobility compensation technique. The combination of the triode and the subthreshold region transistors can compensate the mobility reduction effect and make the OTA with a good linearity. The proposed OTA shows $\pm$0.32% Gm variation over the input range of $\pm$0.8-V. The total harmonic distortion (THD) was lower than -60-㏈. The 9th-order Bessel filter has been designed using a 0.35-${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ n-well CMOS process under 3.3-V supply voltage. It shows the cutoff frequency of 8-MHz and the power consumption of 65-mW.

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 devices of n-channel poly silicon thin film transistors(TFTs) hydrogenated by plasma, $H_2$ and $H_2$/plasma processes are fabricated. The carriers sensitivity characteristics are analyzed with voltage bias stress at the gate oxide. The parametric sensitivity characteristics caused by electrical stress conditions in hydrogenated devices are investigated by measuring the drain current, threshold voltage($V_{th}$), subthreshold slope(S) and maximum transconductance($G_m$) values. As a analyzed results, the degradation characteristics in hydrogenated n-channel polysilicon thin film transistors are mainly caused by the enhancement of dangling bonds at the poly-Si/$SiO_2$ interface and the poly-Si grain boundary due to dissolution of Si-H bonds. The generation of traps in gate oxide are mainly dued to hot electrons injection into the gate oxide from the channel region.
