An InGaZnO thin film transistor with different gate lengths and widths have been fabricated and their device degradations with device sizes have been also performed after negative gate bias stress. The threshold voltage and subthreshold swing have been decreased with decrease of gate length. However, the threshold voltages were increased with the decrease of gate lengths. The transfer curves were negatively shifted after negative gate stress and the threshold voltage was decreased. However, the subthreshold swing was not changed after negative gate stress. This is due to the hole trapping in the gate dielectric materials. The decreases of the threshold voltage variation with the decrease of gate length and the increase of gate width were believed due to the less hole injection into gate dielectrics after a negative gate stress.

In this paper, the threshold voltage characteristics have been analyzed using three dimensional Poisson's equation for FinFET. The FinFET is extensively been studing since it can reduce the short channel effects as the nano device. We have presented the short channel effects such as subthreshold swing and threshold voltage for PinFET, using the analytical three dimensional Poisson's equation. We have analyzed for channel length, thickness and width to consider the structural characteristics for FinFET. Using this model, the subthreshold swing and threshold voltage have been analyzed for FinFET since the potential and transport model of this analytical three dimensional Poisson's equation is verified as comparing with those of the numerical three dimensional Poisson's equation.

In this work, Er-silicided SB-SOI nMOSFET and Pt-silicided SB-SOI pMOSFET have been fabricated to investigate the current-voltage characteristics of Schottky barrier SOI nMOS and pMOS at elevated temperature. The dominant current transport mechanism of SB nMOS and pMOS is discussed using the measurement results of the temperature dependence of drain current with gate voltages. It is observed that the drain current increases with the increase of operating temperature at low gate voltage due to the increase of thermal emission and tunneling current. But the drain current is decreased at high gate voltage due to the decrease of the drift current. It is observed that the ON/Off current ratio is decreased due to the increased tunneling current from the drain to channel region although the ON current is increased at elevated temperature. The threshold voltage variation with temperature is smaller and the subthreshold swing is larger in SB-SOI nMOS and pMOS than in SOI devices or in bulk MOSFETs.

Current-voltage characteristics of source-overlapped gate tunnel field-effect transistor (SOG-TFET) with different channel doping concentration are proposed. Due to the gaussian doping in which the channel region near the source is highly doped and that far from the source is lightly doped, the ambipolar current was reduced, compared with the uniformly-doped SOG-TFET. On-current is almost similar in P-P-N and P-I-N structure but subthreshold swing (SS) of P-P-N TFET enhanced 5 times higher than those of P-I-N TFET. off-current and ambiploar current of the proposed SOG-TFET decrease 10 times and 100 times than those of the uniformly-doped SOG-TFET.

Amorphous indium-gallium-zinc-oxide thin-film-transistors (TFTs) were modeled successfully. Dependence of TFT characteristics on structure, thickness, and equilibrium electron-density of the active layer was studied. For mono-active-layer TFTs, a thinner active layer had higher field-effect mobility. Threshold voltage showed the smallest absolute value for the 20 nm active-layer. Subthreshold swing showed almost no dependence on active-layer thickness. For the double-active-layer case, better switching performances were obtained for TFTs with bottom active layers with higher equilibrium electron density. TFTs with thinner active layers had higher mobility. Threshold voltage shifted in the minus direction as a function of the increase in the thickness of the layer with higher equilibrium electron-density. Subthreshold swing showed almost no dependence on active-layer structure. These data will be useful in optimizing the structure, the thickness, and the doping ratio of the active layers of oxide-semiconductor TFTs.

The device performance of n-channel MuGFET with different fin width, existence of spacer and channel length has been characterized. Tri-Gate structure(fin number=10) has been used. There are four kinds of Tri-Gate with fin width=55nm with spacer, fin width=70nm with spacer, fin width=55nm without spacer, fin width=70nm without spacer. DIBL, subthreshold swing, Vt roll-off, (above Short Channel Effect)and hot carrier stress degradation have been measured. From the experiment results, short Channel Effect with spacer was decreased, hot carrier degradation with spacer and narrow fin width was decreased. Therefore, layout of LDD structure with spacer and narrow fin width is desirable in short channel effect and hot carrier degradation.

SOI-like-bulk CMOS device is proposed, which having the advantages of SOI(Silicon On Insulator) and protects short channel effects efficiently with adding partial epitaxial process at standard CMOS process. SOI-like-bulk NMOS and PMOS with 0.25${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ gate length have designed and optimized through analyzing the characteristics of these devices and applying again to the design of processes. The threshold voltages of the designed NMOS and PMOS are 0.3[V], -0.35[V] respectively and those have shown the stable characteristics under 1.5[V] gate and drain voltages. The leakage current of typical bulk-CMOS increase with shortening the channel length, but the proposed structures on this a study reduce the leakage current and improve the subthreshold characteristics at the same time. In addition, subthreshold swing value, S is 70.91[mV/decade] in SOI-like-bulk NMOS and 63.37[mV/ decade] SOI-like-bulk PMOS. And the characteristics of SOI-like-bulk CMOS are better than those of standard bulk CMOS. To validate the circuit application, CMOS inverter circuit has designed and transient & DC transfer characteristics are analyzed with mixed mode simulation.

In this paper conduction phenomena have been considered for nano structure double gate MOSFET, using the analytical model. The Possion equation is used to obtain the analytical model. The conduction mechanisms to have an influence on current conduction are thermionic emission and tunneling current, and subthreshold swings of this paper is compared with those of two dimensional simulation to verify this model. The deviation of current path and the influence of current path on subthreshold swing have been considered according to the dimensional parameters of double gate MOSFET, i.e. gate length, gateoxide thickness, channel thickness. The optimum channel doping concentration is determined as the deviation of conduction path is considered according to channel doping concentration.
