Influence of image force and many-body correction on electron mobility in ultrathin double gate silicon on insulator inversion layers

چکیده
We study the influence of the image and exchange-correlation effects in double-gate silicon-on-insulator ~DGSOI! devices, in the calculation of both charge distribution and electron mobility. The image and exchange correlation potentials produce a greater confinement of the carriers and, according to the uncertainty principle, a greater phonon scattering rate, which produces a decrease in electron mobility. Moreover, the influence of image and exchange-correlation potentials on electron mobility, while almost negligible for bulk silicon inversion layers, becomes increasingly important as the silicon thickness decreases, due to the effect of volume inversion in DGSOI inversion layers. These effects must then be taken into account in order to achieve a correct evaluation of the charge distribution and of mobility in DGSOI inversion layers. © 2003 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1619217#

A comprehensive study of velocity overshoot effects in double gate silicon on insulator transistors
A comprehensive study of velocity overshoot in double gate silicon on insulator (DGSOI) transistors has been undertaken. Monte Carlo simulations were performed to clarify the dependence of velocity overshoot effects on the low field mobility, channel inversion charge and silicon layer thickness. The relationships and dependences between the energyand momentum-relaxation times were also investig...
متن کاملRole of surface-roughness scattering in double gate silicon-on-insulator inversion layers
The effect of surface-roughness scattering on electron transport properties in extremely thin double gate silicon-on-insulator inversion layers has been analyzed. It is shown that if the silicon layer is thin enough the presence of two Si–SiO2 interfaces plays a key role, even for a very low transverse effective field, where surface-roughness scattering is already noticeable, contrary to what h...

We have studied electron mobility behavior in asymmetric double-gate silicon on insulator ~DGSOI! inversion layers, and compared it to the mobility in symmetric double-gate silicon on insulator devices, where volume inversion has previously been shown to play a very important role, being responsible for the enhancement of the electron mobility. Poisson’s and Schroedinger’s equations have been s...
متن کاملElectron transport in ultrathin double-gate SOI devices
Electron transport in ultrathin double-gate (DG) silicon-on-insulator (SOI) devices is studied as a function of the transverse electric field and the silicon layer thickness, with particular attention to the evaluation of stationary drift velocity and low-field mobility at room temperature. A one-electron Monte Carlo simulator has been used. 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
متن کاملElectron mobility in ultrathin silicon-on-insulator layers at 4.2 K
Low temperature mobility measurements of silicon-on-insulator ~SOI! metal-oxidefield-effect-transistors are reported. The batch of devices fabricated in this work includes both ultrathin and thick devices for which the SOI film thicknesses are in the ranges of 10–15 nm and 56–61 nm, respectively. The 4.2 K peak mobility of the thick devices is 1.9 m/V s. The ultrathin devices show mobility degr...
