박막의 SOI(Silicon-On-Insulator) 소자는 짧은 채널 효과(short channel effect), subthreshold slope의 개선, 이동도 향상, latch-up 제거 등 많은 이점을 제공한다. 반면에 이 소자는 current kink effect와 같이 정상적인 소자 동작에 있어 주요한 저해 요소인 floating body effect를 나타낸다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 T-형 게이트 구조를 갖는 SOI NMOSFET를 제안하였다. T-형 게이트 구조는 일부분의 게이트 산화막 두께를 다른 부분보다 30nm 만큼 크게 하여 TSUPREM-4로 시뮬레이션 하였으며, 이것을 2D MEDICI mesh를 구성하여 I-V 특성 시뮬레이션을 시행하였다. 부분적으로 게이트 산화층의 두께가 다르기 때문에 게이트 전계도 부분적으로 차이가 발생되어 충격 이온화 전류의 크기도 줄어든다. 충격 이온화 전류가 감소한다는 것은 current kink effect가 감소하는 것을 의미하며, 이것을 MEDICI 시뮬레이션을 통해 얻어진 충격 이온화 전류 곡선, I-V 특성 곡선과 정공 전류의 분포 형태를 이용하여 제안된 구조에서 current kink effect가 감소됨을 보였다.

The technology of LOCOS(LOCal Oxidation of Silicon) was used to form the island of SOI film. After this, the SOI film was recrystallized by CO$_2$ laser and metal gate nMOSFETs were fabricated on this SOI film and their electrical characteristics were measured. The kink effect was not nearly observed and edge channel effect was found in the SOI nMOSFETs. The threshold voltage was about 0.5V, the electron mobility was about 340cm$^2$V$\cdot$S and an ON/OFF ratio above 10$^{5}$ was obtained at V_{DS}$=4V. The electrical characteristics were improved by laser recrystallization.

Thin film SOI(Silicon-On-Insulator) devices exhibit floating body effect. In this paper, SOI NMOSFET is proposed to solve this problem. Some part of gate oxide was considered to be 30nm~80nm thicker than the other normal gate oxide and simulated with TSUPREM-4. The I-V characteristics were simulated with 2D MEDICI mesh. Since part of gate oxide has different oxide thickness in proposed device, the gate electric field strength is not the same throught the gate and consequently the reduction of current kink effect is occurred.

The negative curvature effect on the breakdown voltage of p-n junction, which may realize 1-D breakdown voltage due to the lower peak electric field at the junction, is proposed and verified by the fabrication of lateral diode on Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) together with MEDICI simulation. The experimental and simulation results show good agreements with the theoretical expectation. The proposed method is effectively applicable to the lateral, especially on SOI, power devices.

An SOI LDMOS(Silicon-On-Insulator Lateral Double diffused MOSPET) with a tapered field plate is proposed and investigated in terms of the breakdown voltage and on-resistance using 2-D simulator, MEDICI. The results of conventional SOI LDMOS with a stepped field plate are reported for the comparison. Simulated breakdown voltage of the proposed LDMOS is found to be higher than that of conventional LDMOS since surface electric field can be reduced due to the field plate over the tapered oxide. On-resistance of proposed LDMOS is found to be lower than that of conventional LDMOS by 10%.

A new two-dimensional analytical model for the potential distribution and drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL) effect of fully depleted short-channel Silicon-on-insulator (SOI)-MESFET's has been presented in this paper. The two dimensional potential distribution functions in the active layer of the device is approximated as a simple parabolic function and the two-dimensional Poisson's equation has been solved with suitable boundary conditions to obtain the bottom potential at the Si/oxide layer interface. It is observed that for the SOI-MESFET's, as the gate-length is decreased below a certain limit, the bottom potential is increased and thus the channel barrier between the drain and source is reduced. The similar effect may also be observed by increasing the drain-source voltage if the device is operated in the near threshold or sub-threshold region. This is an electrostatic effect known as the drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL) in the short-gate SOI-MESFET's. The model has been verified by comparing the results with that of the simulated one obtained by solving the 2-D Poisson's equation numerically by using the pde toolbox of the widely used software MATLAB.

A new two-dimensional analytical model for dual-material double-gate fully-depleted SOI MOSFET with Pearson-IV type Doping Distribution is presented. An investigation of electrical MOSFET parameters i.e. drain current, transconductance, channel resistance and device capacitance in DM DG FD SOI MOSFET is carried out with Pearson-IV type doping distribution as it is essential to establish proper profiles to get the optimum performance of the device. These parameters are categorically derived keeping view of potential at the center (${\phi}_c$) of the double gate SOI MOSFET as it is more sensitive than the potential at the surface (${\phi}_s$). The proposed structure is such that the work function of the gate material (both sides) near the source is higher than the one near the drain. This work demonstrates the benefits of high performance proposed structure over their single material gate counterparts. The results predicted by the model are compared with those obtained by 2D device simulator ATLAS to verify the accuracy of the proposed model.

In this presentation, we investigated the abnormal subthreshold slope of the FD SOI MOSFETs upon the rapid thermal annealing. Based on subthreshold technique and C-V measurement, we deduced that the hump of the subthreshold slope comes from the abnormal D$_{it}$ distribution after RTA. The local kink in the interface trap density distribution by RTA drastically degrades the subthreshold characteristics and mini hump can be eliminated by S-PGA.A.

In this ppaer, temeprature dependent transport and heat transport models have been incorperated to the two dimensional device simulator SNU-2D provides a solid bse for nonisothermal device simulation. As an example to study the nonisothermal problem. we consider SOI MOSFET's I-V characteristics have been simulated and compared with the measurements. It is shown that negative slopes in the Ids-Vds characteristics are casused by the temperature dependence of the saturation velocity and the degradation of the temperature dependence mobility. Also it is shown that the kink effect occurs when impact ionization near the drain produces a buildup of holes in this isolated device island, and the hysteresis is caused by the creation of holes in the channel and their flow to the source.
