A simple but accurate analytical model for the lateral channel electric field in gate-offset structured Lightly Doped Drain MOSFET has been developed. Our model assumes Gaussian doping profile, rather than simple uniform doping, for the lightly doped region and our model can be applied to LDD structures where the junction depth of LDD is not identical to the heavily doped drain. The validity of our model has been proved by comparing our analytical results with two dimensional device simulations. Due to its simplicity, our model gives a better understanding of the mechanisms involved in reducing the electric field in the LDD MOSFET. The model shows clearly the dependencies of the lateral channel electric field on the drain and gate bias conditions and process, design parameters. Advantages of our analytical model over costly 2-D device simulations is to identify the effects of various parameters, such as oxide thickness, junction depth, gate/drain bias, the length and doping concentration of the lightly doped region, on the peak electric field that causes hot-electron pohenomena, individually. Our model can also find the optimum doping concentration of LDD which minimizes the peak electric field and hot-electron effects.

In this paper, we discuss design considerations for an n-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) with a lateral asymmetric channel (LAC) doping profile. We employed a $0.35\;{\mu}m$ standard complementary MOSFET process for fabrication of the devices. The gates to the LAC doping overlap lengths were 0.5, 1.0, and $1.5\;{\mu}m$. The drain current ($I_{ON}$), transconductance ($g_m$), substrate current ($i_{SUB}$), drain to source leakage current ($i_{OFF}$), and channel-hot-electron (CHE) reliability characteristics were taken into account for optimum device design. The LAC devices with shorter overlap lengths demonstrated improved $I_{ON}$ and $g_m$ characteristics. On the other hand, the LAC devices with longer overlap lengths demonstrated improved CHE degradation and $I_{OFF}$ characteristics.

본 연구에서는 이중게이트 MOSFET의 채널내 도핑분포에 따른 문턱전압이하 스윙을 분석하였다. DGMOSFET는 차세대 나노소자로서 단채널효과를 감소시킬 수 있다는 장점 때문에 많은 연구가 진행 중에 있다. 문턱전압이하 스윙특성의 저하는 중요한 단채널 효과로서 디지털소자응용에서 매우 심각한 영향을 미치고 있다. 이러한 문턱 전압이하 스윙특성의 저하를 이중게이트(Double Gate; DG) MOSFET의 구조적 파라미터 및 채널 내 도핑분포함수의 변화에 따라 분석하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 가우시안 분포함수를 이용하여 포아송방정식의 해석학적 모델을 유도하였다. 본 논문에서 사용한 해석학적 포아송방정식의 전위분포모델 및 문턱전압이하 스윙모델의 타당성을 입증하기 위하여 수치해석학적 결과값과 비교하였으며 이 모델을 이용하여 이중게이트 MOSFET의 문턱전압이하 스윙을 분석하였다.

A two-dimensional (2D) analytical model for the potential distribution and threshold voltage of short-channel ion-implanted GaAs MESFETs operating in the sub-threshold regime has been presented. A double-integrable Gaussian-like function has been assumed as the doping distribution profile in the vertical direction of the channel. The Schottky gate has been assumed to be semi-transparent through which optical radiation is coupled into the device. The 2D potential distribution in the channel of the short-channel device has been obtained by solving the 2D Poisson's equation by using suitable boundary conditions. The effects of excess carrier generation due to the incident optical radiation in channel region have been included in the Poisson's equation to study the optical effects on the device. The potential function has been utilized to model the threshold voltage of the device under dark and illuminated conditions. The proposed model has been verified by comparing the theoretically predicted results with simulated data obtained by using the commercially available $ATLAS^{TM}$ 2D device simulator.

In the present work a methodology to minimize short channel effects (SCEs) by modulating the effective channel length is proposed to design 25 nm single and double gate-source/drain underlap MOSFETs. The analysis is based on the evaluation of the ratio of effective channel length to natural/ characteristic length. Our results show that for this ratio to be greater than 2, steeper source/drain doping gradients along with wider source/drain roll-off widths will be required for both devices. In order to enhance short channel immunity, the ratio of source/drain roll-off width to lateral straggle should be greater than 2 for a wide range of source/drain doping gradients.

An analytical subthreshold swing model is presented for symmetric double-gate (DG) MOSFETs with Gaussian doping profile in vertical direction. The model is based on the effective conduction path effect (ECPE) concept of uniformly doped symmetric DG MOSFETs. The effect of channel doping on the subthreshold swing characteristics for non-uniformly doped device has been investigated. The model also includes the effect of various device parameters on the subthreshold swing characteristics of DG MOSFETs. The proposed model has been validated by comparing the analytical results with numerical simulation data obtained by using the commercially available $ATLAS^{TM}$ device simulator. The model is believed to provide a better physical insight and understanding of DG MOSFET devices operating in the subthreshold regime.

The feasibility of a midgap metal gate is investigated for 32nm MOSFET low power applications. The midgap metal gate MOSFET is found to deliver a driving current as high as a bandedge gate one for the low power applications if a proper retrograde channel is used. An adequate design of the retrograde channel is essential to achieve the performance requirement given in ITRS roadmap. In addition, a process simulation is run using halo implants and thermal processes to evaluate the feasibility of the necessary retrograde profile in manufacturing environments. From the thermal budget point of view, the bandedge metal gate MOSFET is more vulnerable to the following thermal process than the midgap metal gate MOSFET since it requires a steeper retrograde doping profile. Based on the results, a guideline for the gate workfunction and the channel profile in the 32 nm MOSFET is proposed.

본 연구에서는 차세대 나노소자인 DGMOSFET에서 발생하는 단채널효과 중 하나인 문턱전압특성에 대하여 분석하고자 한다. 특히 포아송방정식을 풀 때 전하분포를 가우시안 함수를 사용함으로써 보다 실험값에 가깝게 해석하였으며 이때 가우시안 함수의 변수인 이온주입범위 및 분포편차에 대하여 문턱전압의 변화를 관찰하고자 한다. 포아송방정식으로 부터 해석학적 전위분포 모델을 구하였으며 이를 이용하여 문턱전압을 구하였다. 문턱전압은 표면전위가 페르미전위의 두배가 될 때 게이트 전압으로 정의되므로 표면전위의 해석학적 모델을 구하여 문턱전압을 구하였다. 본 연구의 모델이 타당하다는 것을 입증하기 위하여 포텐셜 분포값을 수치해석학적 값과 비교하였다. 결과적으로 본 연구에서 제시한 포텐셜모델이 수치해석학적 시뮬레이션모델과 매우 잘 일치하였으며 DGMOSFET의 도핑분포 함수의 형태에 따라 문턱전압 특성을 분석하였다.

본 논문에서는 비대칭 이중게이트(double gate; DG) MOSFET의 채널길이에 대한 문턱전압이하 스윙의 변화에 대하여 분석하였다. 문턱전압이하 스윙은 트랜지스터의 디지털특성을 결정하는 중요한 요소로서 채널길이가 감소하면 특성이 저하되는 문제가 나타나고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 개발된 DGMOSFET의 문턱전압이하 스윙의 채널길이에 대한 변화를 채널두께, 산화막두께, 상하단 게이트 전압 및 도핑농도 등에 따라 조사하고자 한다. 특히 하단 게이트 구조를 상단과 달리 제작할 수 있는 비대칭 DGMOSFET에 대하여 문턱전압이하 스윙을 분석함으로써 하단 게이트 전압 및 하단 산화막 두께 등에 대하여 자세히 관찰하였다. 문턱전압이하 스윙의 해석학적 모델을 구하기 위하여 포아송방정식에서 해석학적 전위분포모델을 유도하였으며 도핑분포함수는 가우스분포함수를 사용하였다. 결과적으로 문턱전압이하 스윙은 상하단 게이트 전압 및 채널도핑농도 그리고 채널의 크기에 매우 민감하게 변화하고 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다.
