This paper has analyzed the change of subthreshold swing for doping distribution function of asymmetric double gate(DG) MOSFET. The basic factors to determine the characteristics of DGMOSFET are dimensions of channel, i.e. channel length and channel thickness, and doping distribution function. The doping distributions are determined by ion implantation used for channel doping, and follow Gaussian distribution function. Gaussian function has been used as carrier distribution in solving the Poisson's equation. Since the Gaussian function is exactly not symmetric for top and bottome gates, the subthreshold swings are greatly changed for channel length and thickness, and the voltages of top and bottom gates for asymmetric double gate MOSFET. The deviation of subthreshold swings has been investigated for parameters of Gaussian distribution function such as projected range and standard projected deviation in this paper. As a result, we know the subthreshold swing is greatly changed for doping profiles and bias voltage.

In this paper, the subthreshold swings for doping distribution in the channel have been analyzed in double gate MOSFET(DGMOSFET). The DGMOSFET is extensively been studying since it can lessen the short channel effects(SCEs) as next -generation nano device. The degradation of subthreshold swing(SS) known as SCEs has greatly influenced on application of digital devices, and has been analyzed for structural parameter and variation of channel doping profile in DGMOSFET. The analytical model of Poisson equation has been derived from nonuniform doping distribution for DGMOSFET. To verify potential and subthreshold swing model based on this analytical Poisson's equation, the results have been compared with those of the numerical Poisson's equation, and subthreshold swing for DGMOSFET has been analyzed using these models.

In this paper, the subthreshold swing has been analyzed for double gate FinFET under channel length of 20nm. The analytical current model has been developed, including thermionic current and tunneling current models. The potential distribution by Poisson equation and carrier distribution by Maxwell-Boltzman statistics are used to calculate thermionic emission current, and WKB(Wentzel-Framers-Brillouin) approximation to tunneling current. The cutoff current is obtained by simple adding two currents since two current is independent. The subthreshold swings by this model are compared with those by two dimensional simulation and two values are good agreement. Since the tunneling current increases especially under channel length of 10nm, the characteristics of subthreshold swing is degraded. The channel and gate oxide thickness have to be fabricated as thin as possible to decrease this short channel effects and this process has to be developed. The subthreshold swings as a function of channel doping concentrations are obtained.

The effect of channel doping on L-shaped Tunneling Field-Effect Transistors (TFETs) have been investigated by 2D TCAD simulation. When the source doping is over $10^{20}cm^{-3}$, the subthreshold swing (SS) is abruptly decreased, and when drain doping concentration is below $10^{18}cm^{-3}$, the leakage current in the negative voltage is reduced.

This paper introduces about the structure guide lines of pocket tunneling Field effect transistor. As the pocket length or thickness increase, on-current $I_{on}$ increases. As the pocket thickness is less than 3nm, subthreshold swing (SS) increase. As the dielectric constants of the gate insulator increases, the performance of on-current and subthreshold swing enhances.

Four types of structure of tunnel field-effect transistors (TFETs) have been investigated by TCAD simulation. Pocket and L-shaped TFETs are better performance than single-gate and double-gate TFETs in terms of on-current and subthreshold swing. New guideline of TFETs is presented for the structure design.

In this paper, the relationship of potential and charge distribution in channel for double gate(DG) MOSFET has been derived from Poisson's equation using Gaussian function. The subthreshold swing has been investigated according to projected range and standard projected deviation, variables of Gaussian function. The analytical potential distribution model has been derived from Poisson's equation, and subthreshold swing has been obtained from this model. The subthreshold swing has been defined as the derivative of gate voltage to drain current and is theoretically minimum of 60mS/dec, and very important factor in digital application. Those results of this potential model are compared with those of numerical simulation to verify this model. As a result, since potential model presented in this paper is good agreement with numerical model, the subthreshold swings have been analyzed according to the shape of Gaussian function.

The double gate(DG) MOSFET is a promising candidate to further extend the CMOS scaling and provide better control of short channel effect(SCE). DGMOSFETs, having ultra thin updoped Si channel for SCEs control, are being validated for sub-20nm scaling, A channel effects such as the subthreshold swing(SS), and the threshold voltage roll-off(${\Delta}V_{th}$). The propsed model includes the effects of thermionic emission and quantum tunneling of carriers through the source-drain barrier. The proposed model is used to design contours for gate length, channel thickness, and gate oxide thickness.

An analytical subthreshold swing (SS) model has been presented for double gate MOSFET(DGMOSFET) in this study. The results calculated by this model are more precise for about 10nm channel length and thickness than those derived from the previous models. The results of this model are compared with Medici simulation to varify the validity of this model, and good agreementes have been obtained. The changes of SS have been investigated for various channel lengths, channel thicknesses and gate oxide thicknesses using this model, given that these parameters are very important in design of DGMOSFET. This demonstrates that the proposed model provides useful data for design of nano-scale DGMOSFET. It is Known that the SS is improved to smaller ratios of channel thickness vs channel length and is smaller in very thin oxides. New gate dielectric materials with high permittivity have to be developed to enable design of nano-scale DGMOSFET.

The subthreshold swing (SS) of an asymmetric junctionless double gate (AJLDG) MOSFET is analyzed by the use of Gaussian function. In the asymmetric structure, the thickness of the top/bottom oxide film and the flat-band voltages of top gate (V_fbf) and bottom gate (V_fbb) could be made differently, so the change in the SS for these factors is analyzed with the projected range and standard projected deviation which are parameters for the Gaussian function. An analytical subthreshold swing model is presented from the Poisson's equation, and it is shown that this model is in a good agreement with the numerical model. As a result, the SS changes linearly according to the geometric mean of the top and bottom oxide film thicknesses, and if the projected range is less than half of the silicon thickness, the SS decreases as the top gate oxide film is smaller. Conversely, if the projected range is bigger than a half of the silicon thickness, the SS decreases as the bottom gate oxide film is smaller. In addition, the SS decreases as V_fbb-V_fbf increases when the projected range is near the top gate, and the SS decreases as V_fbb-V_fbf decreases when the projected range is near the bottom gate. It is necessary that one should pay attention to the selection of the top/bottom oxide thickness and the gate metal in order to reduce the SS when designing an AJLDG MOSFET.
