A fully depleted capacitorless 1-transistor dynamic random access memory (FD 1T-DRAM) based on a sSOI strained-silicon-on-insulator) wafer was investigated. The fabricated device showed excellent electrical characteristics of transistor such as low leakage current, low subthreshold swing, large on/off current ratio, and high electron mobility. The FD sSOI 1T-DRAM can be operated as memory device by the floating body effect when the substrate bias of -15 V is applied, and the FD sSOI 1T-DRAM showed large sensing margin and several milli seconds data retention time.

A Monte Carlo (MC) simulation study has been done in order to investigate the effects of line-edge-roughness (LER) induced by either 1P1E (single-patterning and single-etching) or 2P2E (double-patterning and double-etching) on fully-depleted silicon-on-insulator (FDSOI) tri-gate metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs). Three parameters for characterizing the LER profile [i.e., root-mean square deviation (${\sigma}$), correlation length (${\zeta}$), and fractal dimension (D)] are extracted from the image-processed scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image for each photolithography method. It is experimentally verified that two parameters (i.e., ${\sigma}$ and D) are almost the same in each case, but the correlation length in the 2P2E case is longer than that in the 1P1E case. The 2P2E-LER-induced $V_TH$ variation in FDSOI tri-gate MOSFETs is smaller than the 1P1E-LER-induced $V_TH$ variation. The total random variation in $V_TH$, however, is very dependent on the other major random variation sources, such as random dopant fluctuation (RDF) and work-function variation (WFV).

Fully depleted Silicon-on-Insulator (FD-SOI) devices lead to better electrical characteristics than bulk CMOS devices. However, the presence of a thin top silicon layer and a buried SiO2 layer causes self-heating due to the low thermal conductivity of the buried oxide. The electrical characteristics of FDSOI devices strongly depend on the path of heat dissipation. In this paper, we present a new three-dimensional (3-D) analysis technique for the self-heating effect of the finger-type and bar-type transistors. The 3-D analysis results show that the drain current of the finger-type transistor is 14.7% smaller than that of the bar-type transistor due to the 3-D self-heating effect. We have learned that the rate of current degradation increases significantly when the width of a transistor is smaller that a critical value in a finger-type layout. The current degradation fro the 3-D structures of the finger-type and bar-type transistors is investigated and the design issues are also discussed.

피드백 전계 효과 트랜지스터(feedback field-effect transistor; FBFET)로 구성된 모놀리식 3차원 정적 랜덤 액세스 메모리(monolithic 3-dimensional static random access memory; M3D-SRAM)에 대해 TCAD(technology computer-aided design) 프로그램을 사용하여 전기적 특성을 조사하였다. FBFET로 구성된 M3D-SRAM(M3D-SRAM-FBFET)는 FDSOI(fully depleted silicon on insulator) 구조의 N형 FBFET와 N형 MOSFET(metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor)로 이루어져 있으며 각각 하부와 상부에 위치한다. M3D-SRAM-FBFET의 메모리 동작 시, 공급 전압이 1.9 V에서 감소함에 따라 읽기 전류가 낮아졌으며, 공급 전압이 1.6 V 일 때 읽기 전류가 약 10배 감소하였다.

본 논문에서는 NQS(non-quasi-static)효과를 고려한 FD(fully depleted)-SOI(silicon-on-insulator) MOSFETs의 고주파 소신호 모델링을 위한 등가회로 변수들을 간단하고 정확히 추출하는 방법을 제시하였다. 제시된 추출방법은 임피던스와 어드미턴스 행렬계산으로 S-파라미터의 측정 결과로부터 MOSFET의 외부 기생용량과 기생저항을 제거하여 물리적인 특성을 바탕으로 한 MOSFET의 내부등가회로변수가 간단히 추출되어진다. 제시된 방법으로 등가 회로를 구한 후 Y-파라미터를 계산하여 측정치와 비교한 결과 500MHz부터 200Hz까지 잘 일치함을 확인하였다.

An analysis of the 1/f or flicker noise in FD n-channel Double Gate SOI MOSFET is proposed. In this paper, the variation of power spectral density (PSD) of the equivalent noise voltage and noise current with respect to frequency, channel length and gate-to-source voltage at various temperatures and exponent $C(i.e\;1/f^c$ is reported. The temperature is varied 125 K from to room temperature. The variation of PSD with respect to channel length down to $0.1{\mu}m$ technology is considered. It is analyzed that l/f noise in FD n-channel Double Gate SOI MOSFET is due to both carrierdensity fluctuations and mobility-fluctuations. But controversy still exits to its origin.

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.

A FinFET, a novel double-gate device structure is capable of scaling well into the nanoelectronics regime. High-performance CMOS FinFETs , fully depleted silicon-on-insulator (FDSOI) devices have been demonstrated down to 15 nm gate length and are relatively simple to fabricate, which can be scaled to gate length below 10 nm. In this paper, some of the key elements of these technologies are described including sub-lithographic pattering technology, raised source/drain for low series resistance, gate work-function engineering for threshold voltage adjustment as well as metal gate technology, channel roughness on carrier mobility, crystal orientation effect, reliability issues, process variation effects, and device scaling limit.

An accurate method for extracting both Si film doping concentration and front or back silicon-to-oxide fixed charge density of fully depleted SOI devices is proposed. The method utilizes the current-to-voltage and capacitance-to-voltage characteristics of both SOI NMOSFET and PMOSFET which have the same doping concentration. The Si film doping concentration and the front or back silicon-to-oxide fixed charge density are extracted by mainpulating the respective threshold voltages of the SOI NMOSFET and PMOSFET according to the back surface condition (accumulation or inversion) and the capacitance-to-voltage characteristics of the SOI PMOSFET. Device simulations show that the proposed method has less than 10% errors for wide variations of the film doping concentration and the front or the back silicon-to-oxide fixed charge density.

We investigated the dependence of the memory margin of the Cap-less memory cell on the strain of top silicon channel layer and also compared kink effect of strained Cap-less memory cell with the conventional Cap-less memory cell. For comparison of the characteristic of the memory margin of Cap-less memory cell on the strain channel layer, Cap-less transistors were fabricated on fully depleted strained silicon-on-insulator of 0.73-% tensile strain and conventional silicon-on-insulator substrate. The thickness of channel layer was fabricated as 40 nm to obtain optimal memory margin. We obtained the enhancement of 2.12 times in the memory margin of Cap-less memory cell on strained-silicon-on-insulator substrate, compared with a conventional SOI substrate. In particular, much higher D1 current of Cap-less memory cell was observed, resulted from a higher drain conductance of 2.65 times at the kink region, induced by the 1.7 times higher electron mobility in the strain channel than the conventional Cap-less memory cell at the effective field of 0.3MV/cm. Enhancement of memory margin supports the strained Cap-less memory cell can be promising substrate structures to improve the characteristics of Cap-less memory cell.
