Atomistic simulations of the effect of Coulombic interactions on carrier fluctuations in doped silicon
نویسندگان
چکیده
Carrier distributions associated with point charges in silicon are calculated via the quantum perturbation method and used to determine Coulombic interactions between charged defects in the presence of carrier screening. The resulting interactions are used in kinetic lattice Monte Carlo simulations of defect-mediated diffusion to study dopant redistribution and associated variations in carrier concentration. Over a broad range of doping concentrations, Coulombic repulsion between like dopants leads to ordering, resulting in a more uniform electrical potential distribution ~and therefore reduced threshold voltage variations! compared with random doping, the standard condition assumed in previous doping fluctuation analyses.

متن کاملImprovement of a Nano-scale Silicon on Insulator Field Effect Transistor Performance using Electrode, Doping and Buried Oxide Engineering
In this work, a novel Silicon on Insulator (SOI) MOSFET is proposed and investigated. The drain and source electrode structures are optimized to enhance ON-current while global device temperature and hot carrier injection are decreased. In addition, to create an effective heat passage from channel to outside of the device, a silicon region has embedded in the buried oxide. In order to reduce th...

We have studied the magnitude and length scale of potential fluctuations in the channel of metal– oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistors due to the random positions of ionized impurities in the depletion layer. These fluctuations effect the threshold voltage of deep submicron devices, impede their integration, and reduce yield and reliability. Our simple, analytic results complement numer...
