Quasi-two-dimensional threshold voltage model for junctionless cylindrical surrounding gate metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor with dual-material gate

Based on the quasi-two-dimensional(2D) solution of Poisson’s equation in two continuous channel regions, an analytical threshold voltage model for short-channel junctionless dual-material cylindrical surrounding-gate(JLDMCSG) metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor(MOSFET) is developed. Using the derived model, channel potential distribution, horizontal electrical field distribution, and threshold voltage roll-off of JLDMCSG MOSFET are investigated. Compared with junctionless single-material CSG(JLSGCSG) MOSFET, JLDMCSG MOSFET can effectively suppress short-channel effects and simultaneously improve carrier transport efficiency. It is also revealed that threshold voltage rolloff of JLDMCSG can be significantly reduced by adopting both a small oxide thickness and a small silicon channel radius. The model is verified by comparing its calculated results with that obtained from three-dimensional(3D) numerical device simulator ISE.

Analytical model including the fringing-induced barrier lowering effect for a dual-material surrounding-gate MOSFET with a high-k gate dielectric

By solving Poisson＇s equation in both semiconductor and gate insulator regions in the cylindrical coordinates, an analytical model for a dual-material surrounding-gate （DMSG） metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor （MOSFET） with a high-k gate dielectric has been developed. Using the derived model, the influences of fringing-induced barrier lowering （FIBL） on surface potential, subthreshold current, DIBL, and subthreshold swing are investigated. It is found that for the same equivalent oxide thickness, the gate insulator with high-k dielectric degrades the short-channel performance of the DMSG MOSFET. The accuracy of the analytical model is verified by the good agreement of its results with that obtained from the ISE three-dimensional numerical device simulator.     

An analytical model for nanowire junctionless SOI Fin FETs with considering three-dimensional coupling effect

In this paper, the three-dimensional(3D) coupling effect is discussed for nanowire junctionless silicon-on-insulator(SOI) Fin FETs. With fin width decreasing from 100 nm to 7 nm, the electric field induced by the lateral gates increases and therefore the influence of back gate on the threshold voltage weakens. For a narrow and tall fin, the lateral gates mainly control the channel and therefore the effect of back gate decreases. A simple two-dimensional(2D) potential model is proposed for the subthreshold region of junctionless SOI Fin FET. TCAD simulations validate our model. It can be used to extract the threshold voltage and doping concentration. In addition, the tuning of back gate on the threshold voltage can be predicted.     

A two-dimensional analytical analysis of subthreshold behavior to study the scaling capability of nanoscale graded channel gate stack DG MOSFETs

In this paper, a new nanoscale graded channel gate stack (GCGS) double-gate (DG) MOSFET structure and its 2-D analytical model have been proposed, investigated and expected to suppress the short-channel-effects (SCEs) and improve the subthreshold performances for nanoelectronics applications. The model predicts a shift, increasing potential barrier, in the surface potential profile along the channel, which ensures a reduced threshold voltage roll-off and DIBL effects. In the proposed structure, the subthreshold current and subthreshold swing characteristics are greatly improved in comparison with the conventional DG MOSFETs. The developed approaches are verified and validated by the good agreement found with the numerical simulation. (GCGS) DG MOSFET can alleviate the critical problem and further improve the immunity of SCEs of CMOS-based devices in the nanoscale regime.

Performance and analytical modelling of halo-doped surrounding gate MOSFETs

Halo structure is added to sub-100 nm surrounding-gate metal-oxide-semiconductor fieldeffect-transistors （MOS- FETs） to suppress short channel effect. This paper develops the analytical surface potential and threshold voltage models based on the solution of Poisson＇s equation in fully depleted condition for symmetric halo-doped cylindrical surrounding gate MOSFETs. The performance of the halo-doped device is studied and the validity of the analytical models is verified by comparing the analytical results with the simulated data by three dimensional numerical device simulator Davinci. It shows that the halo doping profile exhibits better performance in suppressing threshold voltage roll-off and drain-induced barrier lowering, and increasing carrier transport efficiency. The derived analytical models are in good agreement with Davinci.

Based on the analysis of vertical electric potential distribution across the dual-channel strained p-type Si/strained Si 1-x Ge x /relaxd Si 1-y Ge y (s-Si/s-SiGe/Si 1-y Ge y) metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (PMOSFET),an-alytical expressions of the threshold voltages for buried channel and surface channel are presented.And the maximum allowed thickness of s-Si is given,which can ensure that the strong inversion appears earlier in the buried channel (compressive strained SiGe) than in the surface channel (tensile strained Si),because the hole mobility in the buried channel is higher than that in the surface channel.Thus they offer a good accuracy as compared with the results of device simulator ISE.With this model,the variations of threshold voltage and maximum allowed thickness of s-Si with design parameters can be predicted,such as Ge fraction,layer thickness,and doping concentration.This model can serve as a useful tool for p-channel s-Si/s-SiGe/Si 1-y Ge y metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) designs.

A two-dimensional analytical model for channel potential and threshold voltage of short channel dual material gate lightly doped drain MOSFET

An analytical model for the channel potential and the threshold voltage of the short channel dual-material-gate lightly doped drain （DMG-LDD） metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor （MOSFET） is presented using the parabolic approximation method. The proposed model takes into account the effects of the LDD region length, the LDD region doping, the lengths of the gate materials and their respective work functions, along with all the major geometrical parameters of the MOSFET. The impact of the LDD region length, the LDD region doping, and the channel length on the channel potential is studied in detail. Furthermore, the threshold voltage of the device is calculated using the minimum middle channel potential, and the result obtained is compared with the DMG MOSFET threshold voltage to show the improvement in the threshold voltage roll-off. It is shown that the DMG-LDD MOSFET structure alleviates the problem of short channel effects （SCEs） and the drain induced barrier lowering （DIBL） more efficiently. The proposed model is verified by comparing the theoretical results with the simulated data obtained by using the commercially available ATLASTM 2D device simulator.
