We studied the MOSFET characteristics and the hot-carrier reliability with the sidewall spacer composition and the post gate oxidation thickness in 0.20${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ gate length transistor. The MOSFET with NO(Nitride＋Oxide) sidewall spacer exhibits the large degradation of hot-carrier lifetime because there is no buffering oxide against nitride stress. When the post gate oxidation is skipped, the hot-carrier lifetime is improved, but GIDL (Gate Induced Drain Leakage) current is also increased.

MOS (Metal-Oxide Semconductor) devices among the most sensistive of all semiconductors to radiation, in particular ionizing radiation, showing much change even after a relatively low dose. The necessity of a radiation dosimeter robust enough for the working environment has increased in the fields of aerospace, radio-therapy, atomic power plant facilities, and other places where radiation exists. The power MOSFET (Metal-Oxide Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor) has been tested for use as a gamma radiation dosimeter by measuring the variation of threshold voltage based on the quantity of dose, and a maximum total dose of 30 krad exposed to a $^{60}Co$ ${\gamma}$-radiation source, which is sensitive to environment parameters such as temperature. The gate oxide structures give the main influence on the changes in the electrical characteristics affected by irradiation. The variation of threshold voltage on the operating temperature has caused errors, and needs calibration. These effects can be overcome by adjusting gate oxide thickness and implanting impurity at the surface of well region in MOSFET.

An analytical threshold voltage model is presented to observe the change in threshold voltage shift ΔV_th of a junctionless double gate MOSFET using ferroelectric-metal-SiO₂ as a gate oxide film. The negative capacitance transistors using ferroelectric have the characteristics of increasing on-current and lowering off-current. The change in the threshold voltage of the transistor affects the power dissipation. Therefore, the change in the threshold voltage as a function of theferroelectric thickness is analyzed. The presented threshold voltage model is in a good agreement with the results of TCAD. As a results of our analysis using this analytical threshold voltage model, the change in the threshold voltage with respect to the change in the ferroelectric thickness showed that the threshold voltage increased with the increase of the absolute value of charges in the employed ferroelectric. This suggests that it is possible to obtain an optimum ferroelectric thickness at which the threshold voltage shift becomes 0 V by the voltage across the ferroelectric even when the channel length is reduced. It was also found that the ferroelectric thickness increased as the silicon thickness increased when the channel length was less than 30 nm, but the ferroelectric thickness decreased as the silicon thickness increased when the channel length was 30 nm or more in order to satisfy ΔV_th=0.

The MONOS capacitor are fabricated to investigate the carrier trapping due to Fowler-Nordheim tunneling injection. The carrier trapping in scaled multi-dielectric(ONO) depends on the nitride and Op oxide thickness under Fowler_Nordheim tunneling injection. Carriers captured at nitride film could not escape from nitride to gate, but be captured at top oxide and nitride interface traps because of barrier height of top oxide. Therefore, it is expected that the MONOS memory devices using multi dielectric films enhance memory effect and have a long memory retention characteristic.

본 논문에서는 비대칭 이중게이트 MOSFET의 채널 내 도핑농도에 대한 드레인 유도 장벽 감소 현상에 대하여 분석하고자한다. 드레인 유도 장벽 감소 현상은 드레인 전압에 의하여 소스 측 전위장벽이 낮아지는 효과로서 중요한 단채널 효과이다. 이를 분석하기 위하여 포아송방정식을 이용하여 해석학적 전위분포를 구하였으며 전위분포에 영향을 미치는 채널도핑 농도뿐만이 아니라 상하단 산화막 두께, 하단 게이트 전압 등에 대하여 드레인 유도 장벽 감소 현상을 관찰하였다. 결과적으로 드레인 유도 장벽 감소 현상은 채널도핑 농도에 따라 큰 변화를 나타냈다. 채널길이가 25 nm 이하로 감소하면 드레인 유도 장벽 감소 현상은 급격히 상승하며 채널도핑농도에도 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 산화막 두께가 증가할수록 도핑농도에 따른 드레인유도장벽감소 현상의 변화가 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 채널도핑 농도에 관계없이 일정한 DIBL을 유지하기 위하여 상단과 하단의 게이트 산화막 두께가 반비례하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 하단게이트 전압은 그 크기에 따라 도핑농도의 영향이 변화하고 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Self-aligned MOSFETS using a polysilicon gate are widely fabricated in silicon technology. The polysilicon layer acts as a mask for the source and drain implants and does as gate electrode in the final product. However, the usage of polysilicon gate as a self-aligned mask is restricted in fabricating SiC MOSFETS since the following processes such as dopant activation, ohmic contacts are done at the very high temperature to attack the stability of the polysilicon layer. A metal instead of polysilicon can be used as a gate material and even can be used for ohmic contact to source region of SiC MOSFETS, which may reduce the number of the fabrication processes. Co-formation process of metal-source/drain ohmic contact and gate has been examined in the 4H-SiC based vertical power MOSFET At low bias region (<20V), increment of leakage current after RTA was detected. However, the amount of leakage current increment was less than a few tens of ph. The interface trap densities calculated from high-low frequency C-V curves do not show any difference between w/ RTA and w/o RTA. From the C-V characteristic curves, equivalent oxide thickness was calculated. The calculated thickness was 55 and 62nm for w/o RTA and w/ RTA, respectively. During the annealing, oxidation and silicidation of Ni can be occurred. Even though refractory nature of Ni, 950$^{\circ}C$ is high enough to oxidize it. Ni reacts with silicon and oxygen from SiO$_2$ 1ayer and form Ni-silicide and Ni-oxide, respectively. These extra layers result in the change of capacitance of whole oxide layer and the leakage current

A comparative study on the trade-off between the drive current and the total gate capacitance in double-gate (DG) and triple-gate (TG) FinFETs is performed by using 3-D device simulation. As the first result, we found that the optimum ratio of the hardmask oxide thickness ($T_{mask}$) to the sidewall oxide thickness ($T_{ox}$) is $T_{mask}/T_{ox}$=10/2 nm for the minimum logic delay ($\tau$) while $T_{mask}/T_{ox}$=5/1~2 nm for the maximum intrinsic gate capacitance coupling ratio (ICR) with the fixed channel length ($L_G$) and the fin width ($W_{fin}$) under the short channel effect criterion. It means that the TG FinFET is not under the optimal condition in terms of the circuit performance. Second, under optimized $T_{mask}/T_{ox}$, the propagation delay ($\tau$) decreases with the increasing fin height $H_{fin}$. It means that the FinFET-based logic circuit operation goes into the drive current-dominant regime rather than the input gate load capacitance-dominant regime as $H_{fin}$ increases. In the end, the sensitivity of $\Delta\tau/{\Delta}H_{fin}$ or ${{\Delta}I_{ON}}'/{\Delta}H_{fin}$ decreases as $L_G/W_{fin}$ is scaled-down. However, $W_{fin}$ should be carefully designed especially in circuits that are strongly influenced by the self-capacitance or a physical layout because the scaling of $W_{fin}$ is followed by the increase of the self-capacitance portion in the total load capacitance.

본 연구에서는 비대칭 이중게이트(double gate; DG) MOSFET의 채널 도핑농도 변화에 따른 문턱전압이동 현상에 대하여 분석하였다. 비대칭 DGMOSFET는 일반적으로 저 농도로 채널을 도핑하여 완전결핍상태로 동작하도록 제작한다. 불순물산란의 감소에 의한 고속 동작이 가능하므로 고주파소자에 응용할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 미세소자에서 필연적으로 발생하고 있는 단채널 효과 중 문턱전압이동현상이 비대칭 DGMOSFET의 채널도핑농도의 변화에 따라 관찰하고자 한다. 문턱전압을 구하기 위하여 해석학적 전위분포를 포아송방정식으로부터 급수형태로 유도하였다. 채널길이와 두께, 산화막 두께 및 도핑분포함수의 변화 등을 파라미터로 하여 도핑농도에 따라 문턱전압의 이동현상을 관찰하였다. 결과적으로 도핑농도가 증가하면 문턱전압이 증가하였으며 채널길이가 감소하면 문턱전압이 크게 감소하였다. 또한 채널두께와 하단게이트 전압이 감소하면 문턱전압이 크게 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 마지막으로 산화막 두께가 감소하면 문턱전압이 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었다.

High voltage (HV) integrated circuits are viable alternatives to discrete circuits in a wide variety of applications. A HV device generally used in these circuits is a lateral double diffused metal oxide semiconductor (LDMOS) transistor. Attempts to model LDMOS devices are complicated by the existence of the lightly doped drain and by the extension of the poly-silicon and the gate oxide. Several physically based investigations of the bias-dependent drift resistance of HV devices have been conducted, but a complete physical model has not been reported. We propose a new technique to model HV devices using both the BSIM3 SPICE model and a bias dependent resistor model (sub-circuit macro model).
