In this work, the memory window characteristics of vertical nanowire device with asymmetric source and drain was analyzed using bipolar junction transistor mode for 1T-DRAM application. A gate-all-around (GAA) MOSFET with higher doping concentration in the drain region than in the source region was used. The shape of GAA MOSFET was a tapered vertical structure that the source area is larger than the drain area. From hysteresis curves using bipolar junction mode, the memory windows were 1.08V in the forward mode and 0.16V in the reverse mode, respectively. We observed that the latch-up point was larger in the forward mode than in the reverse mode by 0.34V. To confirm the measurement results, the device simulation has been performed and the simulation results were consistent in the measurement ones. We knew that the device structure with higher doping concentration in the drain region was desirable for the 1T-DRAM using bipolar junction mode.

A new vertical power MOSFET with over-current protection capability is proposed. The MOSFET consists of main power MOSFET cell, sensing MOSFET cell and lateral npn bipolar transistor. The proposed MOSFET may be fabricated by a conventional DMOS process without any additional fabrication step. Overcurrent state is sensed by the newly designed lateral bipolar transistor. Mixed-mode simulations proved that the overcurrent protection is achieved by the proposed MOSFET successfully with a small protection area less than 0.2 % of the total die area.

Charge compensation effects in multi-resurf structure make possible to obtain high breakdown volatage and low on-resistance in vertical MOSFET. In this paper, electrical characteristics of the vertical MOSFET with multi epitaxial layer is presented. Proposed device has n and p-pillar for obtaining the charge compensation effects and The doping concentration each pillar is varied from $5{\times}10^{14}\;to\;1{\times}10^{16}/cm^3$. The thickness of the proposed device also varied from $400{\mu}m\;to\;500{\mu}m$. Due to the charge compensation effects, 4500V of breakdown voltage can be obtained.

For the conventional power MOSFET (metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor) device structure, there exists a tradeoff relationship between specific on-state resistance (Ron,sp) and breakdown voltage (BV). In order to overcome this tradeoff, a super-junction (SJ) trench MOSFET (TMOSFET) structure with uniform or non-uniform doping concentration, which decreases linearly in the vertical direction from the N drift region at the bottom to the channel at the top, for an optimal design is suggested in this paper. The on-state resistance of $0.96m{\Omega}-cm2$ at the SJ TMOSFET is much less than that at the conventional power MOSFET under the same breakdown voltage of 100V. A design methodology for the edge termination is proposed to achieve the same breakdown voltage and on-state resistance as the main body of the super-junction TMOSFET by using of the SILVACO TCAD 2D device simulator, Atlas.

고밀도의 트렌치 전력 MOSFET를 제작하는 데 있어서 새로운 소자의 구조와 공정을 제시하고 이차원 소자 및 공정 시뮬레이터를 이용하여 검증했다. 트렌치 게이트 MOSFET의 온-저항을 낮추기 위해 셀 피치가 서브-마이크론으로 발전할 경우 문제가 되는 소오스 영역을 확보하고자 p-base의 음 접촉을 위한 P+ 영역과 N+ 소오스 등이 트렌치의 측벽에 형성되고, 트렌치 게이트는 그 아래에 매몰된 구조를 제안했다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 항복전압이 45 V이고, 온-저항이 12.9m${\Omega}{\cdot}mm^2$로 향상된 trade-off 특성을 보였다.

The potential performance benefits of Silicon Carbide(SiC) MOSFETs in high power, high frequency power switching applications have been well established over the past 20 years. In the past few years, SiC MOSFET offerings have been announced by suppliers as die, discrete, module and system level products. In high-voltage SiC vertical devices, major design concerns is the edge termination and cell pitch design Field Limiting Rings(FLR) based structures are commonly used in the edge termination approaches. This study presents a comprehensive analysis of the impact of variation of FLR and JFET region on the performance of a 3.3 kV SiC MOSFET during. The improvement in MOSFET reverse bias by optimizing the field ring design and its influence on the nominal operating performance is evaluated. And, manufacturability of the optimization of the JFET region of the SiC MOSFET was also examined by investigating full-map electrical characteristics.

In this work, we have analyzed the characteristics of vertical nanowire GAA MOSFET according to channel width and the type of channel doping through the simulation. First, we compared and analyzed the characteristics of designed structures which have tilted shapes that ends of drains are fixed as 20nm and ends of sources are 30nm, 50nm, 80nm and 110nm. Second, we designed the rectangular structure which has uniform width of drain, channel and source as 50nm. We used it as a standard and designed trapezoidal structure which is tilted so that the end of drain became 20nm and reverse trapezoidal structure which is tilted so that the end of source became 20nm. We compared and analyzed the characteristic of above three structures. For the last, we used the rectangular structure, divided its channel as five parts and changed the type of the five parts of doping concentration variously. In the first simulation, when the channel width is the shortest, in the second, when the structure is trapezoid, in the third, when the center of channel is high doped show the best characteristics.

The design, fabrication and performance of vertical double diffused power MOSFET (VDMOS) were described. On the antimony (Sb) doped (~7x10**17 cm**-3) silicon substrate (N+), epitaxial layer(N-) was grown. The thickness and the resistivity of this layer were 32\ulcorner and about 12\ulcorner-cm, respectively. The P- channel length which was controlled by sequential P-/N+ double diffuison method was about 1~2 \ulcorner, and was processed with the self alignment of 21 \ulcorner width poly silicon. To improve the breakdown voltage with constant on-resistance (Ron) about 1\ulcorner, three P+ guard rings were laid out around main pattern. With chip size of 4800\ulcorner x4840 \ulcorner, the VDMOS has shown breakdown voltage of 410~440V, on-resistance within 1.0~1.2\ulcornerand the current capablity of more than 5A.

An analytical subthreshold swing model is presented for symmetric double-gate (DG) MOSFETs with Gaussian doping profile in vertical direction. The model is based on the effective conduction path effect (ECPE) concept of uniformly doped symmetric DG MOSFETs. The effect of channel doping on the subthreshold swing characteristics for non-uniformly doped device has been investigated. The model also includes the effect of various device parameters on the subthreshold swing characteristics of DG MOSFETs. The proposed model has been validated by comparing the analytical results with numerical simulation data obtained by using the commercially available $ATLAS^{TM}$ device simulator. The model is believed to provide a better physical insight and understanding of DG MOSFET devices operating in the subthreshold regime.
