To develop ultrathin gate oxide for ULSI MOSFETs, for the first time, we fabricated MOS capacitors with 65.angs. thick initial oxide grown by high pressure oxidation (HIPOX) at 700.deg. C in 5 atmosphere $O_{2}$ ambient and then followed by rapid thermal nitridation (RTN) in N$_{2}$O ambient. The dielectric breakdown fields of the initial HIPOX oxide are 13.0 MV/cm and 13.8MV/cm for negative and positive gate bias, respectively and are dependent on nitridation temeprature and time.The lifetimes of the HIPOX oxides extractd by TDDB method are 1.1*10$^{8}$ sec and 3.4 * 10$^{9}$ sec for negative and positive stress current, respectively. The lifetime of the HIPOX oxide dfor negative stress current increases with nitridation time in N$_{2}$O ambient at 1100.deg.C, reaching maximum value stress curretn increases with nitridation time in N$_{2}$O ambient at 1100.deg. C reacing maximum value of 1.2*10$^{9}$ sec for 30 sec of nitridation time, and then subsequently decreases at the longer nitridation time. The lifetimes of the nitrided-HIPOX oxides are longer than 10 years when nitridations are carried out longer than about 50 sec and 12 sec at 1000.deg. C, and 1100.deg. C, respectively.

Cobalt silicidation at sidewall spacer edge of Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors (MOSFETs) with post annealing treatment for capacitor forming process has been investigated as a function of dopant species. Cobalt silicidation of nMOSFET with n-type Lightly Doped Drain (LDD) and pMOSFET with p-type LDD produces a well-developed cobalt silicide with its lateral growth underneath the sidewall spacer. In case of pMOSFET with n-type LDD, however, a void is formed at the sidewall spacer edge with no lateral growth of cobalt silicide. The void formation seems to be due to a retarded silicidation process at the LDD region during the first Rapid Thermal Annealing (RTA) for the reaction of Co with Si, resulting in cobalt mono silicide at the LDD region. The subsequent second RTA converts the cobalt monosilicide into cobalt disilicide with the consumption of Si atoms from the Si substrate, producing the void at the sidewall spacer edge in the Si region. The void formed at the sidewall spacer edge serves as a resistance in the current-voltage characteristics of the pMOSFET device.

LDD structure is widely accepted in fabricating short channel MOSFETs due to reduced short channel effect originated form lower drain edge electric field. However, modeling of the LDD device is troublesome because the analysis methods of LDD region known are either too complicated or inaccurate. To solve the problem, this paper presents a nonlinear resistance model for the LDD region based on teh fact that the electron mobility changes with positive gate bias because accumulation layer of electrons is formed at the surface of the LDD region. To prove the usefulness of the model, single source/drain and LDD nMOSFETs were fabricated with 0.35$\mu$m CMOS technolgoy. For the fabricated devices we have measured I$_{ds}$-V$_{gs}$ characteristics and compare them to the modeling resutls. First of all, we calculated channel and LDD region mobility from I$_{ds}$-V$_{gs}$ characteristics of 1050$\AA$ sidewall, 5$\mu$m channel length LDD NMOSFET. Then we MOSFET and found good agreement with experiments. Next, we use calculated channel and LDD region mobility to model I$_{ds}$-V$_{gs}$ characteristics of LDD mMOSFET with 1400 and 1750$\AA$ sidewall and 5$\mu$m channel length and obtained good agreement with experiment. The single source/drain device characteristic modeling results indicates that the cahnnel mobility obtained form our model in LDD device is accurate. In the meantime, we found that the LDD region mobility is governed by phonon and surface roughness scattering from electric field dependence of the mobility. The proposed model is useful in device and circuit simulation because it can model LDD device successfully even though it is mathematically simple.

본 연구에서는 고온에서 Schottky barrier SOI nMOS 및 pMOS의 전류-전압 특성을 분석하기 위해서 Er 실리사이드를 갖는 SB-SOI nMOSFET와 Pt 실리사이드를 갖는 SB-SOI pMOSFET를 제작하였다. 게이트 전압에 따른 SB-SOI nMOS 및 pMOS의 주된 전류 전도 메카니즘을 온도에 따른 드레인 전류 측정 결과를 이용하여 설명하였다. 낮은 게이트 전압에서는 온도에 따라 열전자 방출 및 터널링 전류가 증가하므로 드레인 전류가 증가하고 높은 게이트 전압에서는 드리프트 전류가 감소하여 드레인 전류가 감소하였다. 고온에서 ON 전류가 증가하지만 드레인으로부터 채널영역으로의 터널링 전류 증가로 OFF 전류가 더 많이 증가하게 되므로 ON/OFF 전류비는 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 SOI 소자나 bulk MOSFET 소자에 비해 SB-SOI nMOS 및 pMOS의 온도에 따른 문턱전압 변화는 작았고 subthreshold swing은 증가하였다.

$0.18-{\mu}m$ high voltage technology 13.5V high voltage well-based symmetric EDMOS isolated by MTI was designed and fabricated. Using calibrated process and device model parameters, the characteristics of the symmetric and asymmetric EDMOS have been simulated. The asymmetric EDMOS has higher performance, better $R_{sp}$ / BVDSS figure-of-merit, short-channel immunity and smaller pitch size than the symmetric EDMOS. The asymmetric EDMOST is a good candidate for low-power and smaller source driver chips. The low voltage logic well-based EDMOS process has advantages over high voltage well-based EDMOS in process cost by eliminating the process steps of high-voltage well/drift implant, high-temperature long-time thermal steps, etc. The specific on-resistance of our well-designed logic well-based EDMOSTs is compatible with the smallest one published. TCAD simulation and measurement results show that the improved logic well-based nEDMOS has better electrical characteristics than those of the conventional one. The improved EDMOS proposed in this paper is an excellent candidate to be integrated with low voltage logic devices for high-performance low-power low-cost chips.

The electromagnetic properties of P- and n-channel split drain magnetic sensitive MOSFET fabricated using 2\ulcorner design rules and CMOS process technology has been investigated. The achieved output voltage in the double drain MOSFET was 160mV at 10\ulcorner drain current and magnetic flux density of 10kG, and the sensitivity was 1.6x10**3 V/A\ulcornerG. A further higher sensitivity was obtained by introducing a third drain in the split region. In this case, the triple drain MOSFET showed a much higher sensitivity of 2x10**3 V/A\ulcornerG under the same condition. Also, the linearity of output voltage vs. magnetic flux density was excellent.

In this paper, we investigated the SLS process to control grain boundary(GB) location in TFT channel region, and it has been found to be applicable for locating the GB at the same location in the channel region of each TFT. We fabricated TFT by applying a new alignment SLS process and compared the TFT characteristics with a normal SLS method and the grain boundary location controlled SLS method. Also, we have analysed degradation phenomena under hot carrier stress conditions for n-type LDD MOSFETs.

In this paper, The electrical properties of MOS capacitors and transistoras with gate of in-situ doped amorphous Si and poly Si doped by POCI$_3$. Under constant current F-N stress, MOS capacitors with in-situ doped amorphous Si gate have shown the best resistance to degradation in reliabilty properties such as increase of leakage current, shift of gate voltage (V$_{g}$). shift of flat band voltage (V$_{fb}$) and charge to breakdown(Q$_{bd}$). Also, MOSFETs with in-situ doped amorphous Si gate have shown to have less degradation in transistor properties such as threshold voltage, transconductance and drain current. These improvements observed in MOS devices with in-situ doped amorphous Si gate is attributed to less local thinning spots at the gate/SiO$_2$ interface, caused by the large grain size and the smoothness of the surface at the gate/SiO$_2$ interface.
