본 연구에서는 실제적 구조를 가지는 bulk와 SOI FinFET에서의 self-heating 효과를 3차원 TCAD 전산모사를 통하여 분석하였다. 기존 연구들에서와 마찬가지로 self-heating 효과에 의해 나타나는 정적인 구동전류의 감소는 SOI FinFET에서 bulk FinFET보다 더 심각함을 보여주고 있다.. 그러나 고속의 logic 동작 및 실제적 구조를 감안하면 SOI FinFET에서의 동적 self-heating 효과는 bulk FinFET과 큰 차이가 없음을 강조한다.

FinFETs are able to be scaled down to 22 nm and beyond while suppressing effectively short channel effect, and have superior performance compared to 2-dimensional (2-D) MOSFETs. Bulk FinFETs are built on bulk Si wafers which have less defect density and lower cost than SOI(Silicon-On-Insulator) wafers. In contrast to SOI FinFETs, bulk FinFETs have no floating body effect and better heat transfer rate to the substrate while keeping nearly the same scalability. The bulk FinFET has been developed at 14 nm technology node, and applied in mass production of AP and CPU since 2015. In the development of the bulk FinFETs at 10 nm and beyond, self-heating effects (SHE) is becoming important. Accurate control of device geometry and threshold voltage between devices is also important. The random telegraph noise (RTN) would be problematic in scaled FinFET which has narrow fin width and small fin height.

본 삼차원 선택적 산화를 이용하여 20 nm 수준의 핀 폭과 점진적으로 증가된 소스/드레인 확장 영역을 갖는 핀 채널을 벌크 실리콘 기판에 제작하였다. 제안된 기법을 이용하여 삼차원 소자를 제작하기 위한 공정기법 및 단계를 상세히 설명하였다. 삼차원 소자 시뮬레이션을 통해, 제안된 소자의 주요 특징과 특성을 기존 FinFET 및 벌크 FinFET 소자와 비교하였다. 제안된 삼차원 선택적 산화 방식의 핀 채널 MOSFET는 기존의 소자들과 비교하여 더 큰 구동 전류, 더 높은 선형 트랜스컨덕턴스, 더 낮은 직렬 저항을 가지며, 거의 유사한 수준의 소형화 특성을 보이는 것을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we investigated the hotcarrier injection (HCI) mechanism, one of the most important reliability issues, in 10 nm node Input/Output (I/O) bulk FinFET. The FinFET has much intensive HCI damage in Fin-bottom region, while the HCI damage for planar device has relatively uniform behavior. The local damage behavior in the FinFET is due to the geometrical characteristics. Also, the HCI is significantly affected by doping profile, which could change the worst HCI bias condition. This work suggested comprehensive understanding of HCI mechanisms and the guideline of doping profile in 10 nm node I/O bulk FinFET.

The analyses on self-heating effect in 7 nm node non-rectangular Bulk FinFET device were performed using 3D device simulation with consideration to contact via and pad. From self-heating effect simulation, the position where the maximum lattice temperature occurs in Bulk FinFET device was investigated. Through the comparison of thermal resistance at each node, main heat transfer path in Bulk FinFET device can be determined. Self-heating effect with device parameter and operation temperature was also analyzed and compared. In addition, the impact of interconnects which are connected between the device on self-heating effect was investigated.

Semiconductor devices have evolved from 2D planar FETs to 3D bulk FinFETs, with aggressive device scaling. Bulk FinFETs make it possible to suppress short-channel effects. In addition, the use of low-k dielectric materials as a vacuum gate spacer have been suggested to improve the AC characteristics of the bulk FinFET. However, although the vacuum gate spacer is effective, correlation between the vacuum gate spacer and the short-channel-effects have not yet been compared or discussed. Using a 3D TCAD simulator, this paper demonstrates how to optimize bulk FinFETs including a vacuum gate spacer and to suppress short-channel effects.

We design and analyze the n-channel junctionless fin-shaped field-effect transistor (JL FinFET) with 10-nm gate length and compare its performances with those of the conventional bulk-type fin-shaped FET (conventional bulk FinFET). A three-dimensional (3-D) device simulations were performed to optimize the device design parameters including the width ($W_{fin}$) and height ($H_{fin}$) of the fin as well as the channel doping concentration ($N_{ch}$). Based on the design optimization, the two devices were compared in terms of direct-current (DC) and radio-frequency (RF) characteristics. The results reveal that the JL FinFET has better subthreshold swing, and more effectively suppresses short-channel effects (SCEs) than the conventional bulk FinFET.

소자의 집적화에 필수적인 소자 분리공정에서 화학약품의 오염 문제등을 발생시키는 화학적 기계연마기술(CMP) 공정을 사용하지 않고 벌크 finFET(fin field effect transistor) 의 트랜치 구조를 형성할 수 있는 공정에 대하여 제안하였다. 사진 감광막 도포시 발생하는 두께차이와 희생층으로 사용되는 실리콘 질화막을 사용하면 에칭 공정만을 사용하여 상대적으로 표면 위로 돌출된 부분의 실리콘 산화막 층을 에칭하는 것은 물론 finFET 의 채널로 사용되는 실리콘 트랜치 구조를 한번에 형성할 수 있는 특징을 갖는다. 본 연구에서는 AZ1512 사진 감광막을 사용하여 50 나노미터급 실리콘 트랜치 구조를 형성하는 공정을 수행하였으며 그 결과를 소개한다.

We proposed a new $p^+/n^+$ gate locally-separated-channel (LSC) bulk FinFET which has vertically formed oxide region in the center of fin body, and device characteristics were optimized and compared with that of normal channel (NC) FinFET. Key device characteristics were investigated by changing length of $n^+$ poly-Si gate ($L_s$), the material filling the trench, and the width and length of the trench at a given gate length ($L_g$). Using 3-dimensional simulations, we confirmed that short-channel effects were properly suppressed although the fin width was the same as that of NC device. The LSC device having the trench non-overlapped with the source/drain diffusion region showed excellent $I_{off}$ suitable for sub-50 nm DRAM cell transistors. Design of the LSC devices were performed to get reasonable $L_s/L_g$ and channel fin width ($W_{cfin}$) at given $L_gs$ of 30 nm, 40 nm, and 50 nm.

We propose a damascene gate FinFET with Si nanocrystals implemented on bulk silicon wafer for low voltage flash memory device. The use of optimized SRON (Silicon-Rich Oxynitride) process allows a high degree of control of the Si excess in the oxide. The FinFET with Si nanocrystals shows high program/erase (P/E) speed, large $V_{TH}$ shifts over 2.5V at 12V/$10{\mu}s$ for program and -12V/1ms for erase, good retention time, and acceptable endurance characteristics. Si nanocrystal memory with damascene gate FinFET is a solution of gate stack and voltage scaling for future generations of flash memory device. Index Terms-FinFET, Si-nanocrystal, SRON(Si-Rich Oxynitride), flash memory device.
