In this paper, we present a highly-sensitive gate/body-tied (GBT) metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET)-type photodetector using multi-finger structure whose photocurrent increases in proportion to the number of fingers. The drain current that flows through a MOSFET using multi-finger structure is proportional to the number of fingers. This study intends to confirm that the photocurrent of a GBT MOSFET-type photodetector that uses the proposed multi-finger structure is larger than the photocurrent per unit area of the existing GBT MOSFET-type photodetectors. Analysis and measurement of a GBT MOSFET-type photodetector that utilizes a multi-finger structure confirmed that photocurrent increases in ratio to the number of fingers. In addition, the characteristics of the photocurrent in relation to the optical power were measured. In order to determine the influence of the incident the wavelength of light, the photocurrent was recorded as the incident the wavelength of light varied over a range of 405 to 980 nm. A highly-sensitive GBT MOSFET-type photodetector with multi-finger structure was designed and fabricated by using the Taiwan semiconductor manufacturing company (TSMC) complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) 0.18 um 1-poly 6-metal process and its characteristics have been measured.

In this paper, we investigate three different types of multi-fingered layout nMOSFET devices with varying $W_f$(unit finger width) and $N_f$(number of finger). Using layout modification, we improve $f_T$(current gain cutoff frequency) value of 15GHz without scaling down, and moreover, we decrease $NF_{min}$(minimum noise figure) by 0.23dB at 5GHz. The RF noise can be reduced by increasing $f_T$, choosing proper finger width, and reducing the gate resistance. For the same total gate width using multi-fingered layout, the increase of finger width shows high $f_T$ due to the reduced parasitic capacitance. However, this does not result in low $NF_{min}$ since the gate resistance generating high thermal noise becomes larger under wider finger width. We can obtain good RF characteristics for MOSFETs by using a layout optimization technique.

다양한 게이트 핑거 수(Nf)의 MOSFET에 대한 두 종류의 입력 저항이 $S_{11}$-parameter와 $Z_{11}$-parameter으로부터 변환 되어 저주파 영역에서 측정되었다. 본 연구에서 사용된 $Nf{\leq}64$의 범위에서 $S_{11}$-parameter로부터 추출된 1/Nf 종속 입력저항은 $Z_{11}$-parameter로부터 추출된 입력 저항보다 훨씬 낮은 값을 보여주며, 이러한 1/Nf 종속성은 MOSFET의 등가회로로부터 유도된 Nf 종속 비선형 방정식으로부터 이론적으로 증명하였다.

In this paper, we deal with the TLP evaluation results for GGNMOS in ESD protection device of conventional CMOS process. An evaluation parameter for GGNMOS is that repeatability evaluation for reference device($W/L=50\;{\mu}m1.0\;{\mu}m$) and following factors for design as gate width, number of finger, present or not for N+ gurad -ring, space of N-field region to contact and present or not for NLDD layer. The result of repeatability was showed uniformity of lower than 1 %. The result for design factor evaluation was ; 1) gate width leading to increase It2, 2) An increase o( finger number was raised current capability(It2), and 3) present of N+ gurad-ring was more effective than not them for current sink. Finally we suggest the optimized design conditions for GGNMOS in evaluated factor as ESD protection device of conventional CMOS process.

We examined the scaling effects of a number of gate_fingers (N) and gate_widths (w) on the high-frequency characteristics of $0.1-{\mu}m$ metamorphic high-electron-mobility transistors. Functional relationships of the extracted small-signal parameters with total gate widths ($w_t$) of different N were proposed. The cut-off frequency ($f_T$) showed an almost independent relationship with $w_t$; however, the maximum frequency of oscillation ($f_{max}$) exhibited a strong functional relationship of gate-resistance ($R_g$) influenced by both N and $w_t$. A greater $w_t$ produced a higher $f_{max}$; but, to maximize $f_{max}$ at a given $w_t$, to increase N was more efficient than to increase the single gate_width.

The scaling down of metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) for the last several years has contributed to the reduction of the scaling variables and device parameters as well as the operating voltage of the MOSFET. At the same time, the variation in the electrical characteristics of MOSFETs is one of the major issues that need to be solved. Especially because the issue with variation is magnified as the drive voltage is decreased. Therefore, this paper will focus on the variations between electrical characteristics and drain voltage. In order to do this, the test patterned multi-finger MOSFETs using 90-nm process is used to investigate the characteristic variations, such as the threshold voltage, DIBL, subthreshold swing, transconductance and mobility via parasitic resistance extraction method. These characteristics can be analyzed by varying the gate width and length, and the number of fingers. Through this modeling scheme, the characteristic variations of multi-finger MOSFETs can be analyzed.

전체 채널 폭은 같지만 핀 수와 핀 폭이 다른 n-채널 MuGFET의 특성을 측정 비교 분석하였다. 사용된 소자는 Pi-gate 구조의 MuGFET이며 핀 수가 16이며 핀 폭이 55nm인 소자와 핀 수가 14이며 핀 폭이 80nm인 2 종류의 소자이다. 측정 소자성능은 문턱전압, 이동도, 문턱전압 roll-off, DIBL, inverse subthreshold slope, PBTI, hot carrier 소자열화 및 드레인 항복전압 이다. 측정 결과 핀 폭이 작으며 핀 수가 많은 소자의 단채널 현상이 우수한 것을 알 수 있었다. PBTI에 의한 소자열화는 핀 수가 많은 소자가 심하며 hot carrier에 의한 소자열화는 비슷한 것을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 드레인 항복 전압은 핀 폭이 작고 핀 수가 많은 소자가 높은 것을 알 수 있었다. 단채널 현상과 소자열화 및 드레인 항복전압 특성을 고려하면 MuGFET소자 설계 시 핀 폭을 작게 핀 수를 많게 하는 것이 바람직하다.
