This paper has presented the dependence of the threshold voltage on back gate bias and drain voltage for FinFET. The FinFET has three gates such as the front gate, side and back gate. Threshold voltage is defined as the front gate bias when drain current is 1 micro ampere as the onset of the turn-on condition. In this paper threshold voltage is investigated into the analytical potential model derived from three dimensional Poisson's equation with the variation of the back gate bias and drain voltage. The threshold voltage of a transistor is one of the key parameters in the design of CMOS circuits. The threshold voltage, which described the degree of short channel effects, has been extensively investigated. As known from the down scaling rules, the threshold voltage has been presented in the case that drain voltage is the 1.0V above, which is set as the maximum supply voltage, and the drain induced barrier lowing(DIBL), drain bias dependent threshold voltage, is obtained using this model.

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.

This paper has presented doping profile dependent threshold voltage for DGMOSFET using analytical transport model based on Gaussian function. Two dimensional analytical transport model has been derived from Poisson's equation for symmetrical Double Gate MOSFETs(DGMOSFETs). Threshold voltage roll-off is very important short channel effects(SCEs) for nano structures since it determines turn on/off of MOSFETs. Threshold voltage has to be constant with decrease of channel length, but it shows roll-off due to SCEs. This analytical transport model is used to obtain the dependence of threshold voltage on channel doping profile for DGMOSFET profiles. Also we have analyzed threshold voltage for structure of channel such as channel length and gate oxide thickness.

Threshold voltage is one of the most important factors in a device modeling. In this paper, analytical method to calculate threshold voltage for recessed channel (RC) MOSFETs is studied. If we know the fundamental parameter of device, such as radius, oxide thickness and doping concentration, threshold voltage can be obtained easily by using this model. The model predicts the threshold voltage which is the result of 2D numerical device simulation.

This paper has been presented the transport characteristics of FinFET using the analytical potential model based on the Poisson's equation in subthreshold and threshold region. The threshold voltage is the most important factor of device design since threshold voltage decides ON/OFF of transistor. We have investigated the variations of threshold voltage and drain induced barrier lowing according to the variation of geometry such as the length, width and thickness of channel. The analytical potential model derived from the three dimensional Poisson's equation has been used since the channel electrostatics under threshold and subthreshold region is governed by the Poisson's equation. The appropriate boundary conditions for source/drain and gates has been also used to solve analytically the three dimensional Poisson's equation. Since the model is validated by comparing with the three dimensional numerical simulation, the subthreshold current is derived from this potential model. The threshold voltage is obtained from calculating the front gate bias when the drain current is $10^{-6}A$.

본 연구에서는 차세대 나노소자인 DGMOSFET에서 발생하는 단채널효과 중 하나인 문턱전압특성에 대하여 분석하고자 한다. 특히 포아송방정식을 풀 때 전하분포를 가우시안 함수를 사용함으로써 보다 실험값에 가깝게 해석하였으며 이때 가우시안 함수의 변수인 이온주입범위 및 분포편차에 대하여 문턱전압의 변화를 관찰하고자 한다. 포아송방정식으로 부터 해석학적 전위분포 모델을 구하였으며 이를 이용하여 문턱전압을 구하였다. 문턱전압은 표면전위가 페르미전위의 두배가 될 때 게이트 전압으로 정의되므로 표면전위의 해석학적 모델을 구하여 문턱전압을 구하였다. 본 연구의 모델이 타당하다는 것을 입증하기 위하여 포텐셜 분포값을 수치해석학적 값과 비교하였다. 결과적으로 본 연구에서 제시한 포텐셜모델이 수치해석학적 시뮬레이션모델과 매우 잘 일치하였으며 DGMOSFET의 도핑분포 함수의 형태에 따라 문턱전압 특성을 분석하였다.

Threshold voltage shift occurring during operation is implemented in a SPICE simulation tool. Among the shift models the stretched-exponential function model, which is frequently observed from both single-crystal silicon and thin-film transistors regardless of the nature of causes, is selected, adapted to transient simulation, and added to BSIM4 developed by BSIM Research Group at the University of California, Berkeley. The adaptation method used in this research is to select degradation and recovery models based on the comparison between the gate and threshold voltages. The threshold voltage shift is extracted from SPICE transient simulation and shows the stretched-exponential time dependence for both degradation and recovery situations. The implementation method developed in this research is not limited to the stretched-exponential function model and BSIM model. The proposed method enables to perform transient simulation with threshold voltage shift in situ and will help to verify the reliability of a circuit.

A threshold voltage model of SiC N-channel MOSFETs for high-temperature and hard radiation environments has been developed and verified by comparing with experimental results. The proposed model includes the difference in the work functions, the surface potential, depletion charges and SiC/$SiO_2$acceptor-like interface state charges as a function of temperature. Simulations of the model shoved that interface slates were the most dominant factor for the threshold voltage decrease as the temperature increase. To verify the model, SiC N-chnnel MOSFETS were fabricated and threshold voltages as a function of temperature were measured and compared wish model simulations. From these comparisons, extracted density of interface slates was $4{\times}10^{12}\textrm{cm}^{-2}eV^{-1}$.

본 논문은 halo doping profile을 갖는 나노구조 LDD MOSFET의 문턱전압에 대하여 연구하였다. 소자의 크기는 일반화된 스켈링 이론을 사용하여 100nm 에서 40m까지 스켈링하였다. Van Dort Quantum Correction Model(QM) 모델을 정전계 스켈링 이론과 정전압 스켈링 이론에 적용하여 문턱전압을 조사하였으며, gate oxide 두께의 변화 따른 direct tunneling current를 조사하였다. 결과적으로 게이트 길이가 감소됨에 따라 문턱전압이 정전계 스켈링에서는 감소하고 정전압 스켈링에서는 증가함을 알았고 direct tunneling current는 gate oxide 두께가 감소함에 따라 증가됨을 알았다. 또한 채널 길이의 감소에 따른 MOSFET의 문턱전압에 대한 roll-off특성을 최소화하기 위하여 일반화된 스켈링에서 $\alpha$값은 거의 1 이여야 함을 알았다.

본 논문에서는 halo doping profile을 갖는 나노구조 LDD MOSFET의 문턱전압에 대한 시뮬레이션 결과를 나타내었다. 소자 크기는 generalized scaling을 사용하여 100nm에서 40nm까지 스케일링하였다. Van Dort Quantum Correction Model(QM)을 사용하여 정전계 스케일링과 정전압 스케일링에 대한 문턱 전압과 각각의 게이트 oxide 두께에 대한 direct tunneling 전류를 조사하였다. 게이트 길이가 감소할 때 정전계 스케일링에서는 문턱전압이 감소하고, 정전압 스케일링에서는 문턱전압이 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었고, 게이트 oxide두께가 감소할 때 direct tunneling 전류는 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 감소하는 채널 길이를 갖는 MOSFET 문턱전압에 대한 roll-off 특성을 최소화하기 위해 generalized scaling에서 $\alpha$값은 1에 가깝게 되는 것을 볼 수 있었다.
