The impact of mobility enhanced technology on device performance and reliability for sub-90nm SOI nMOSFETs
نویسنده
چکیده
For SOI nMOSFET, the impact of high tensile stress contact etch stop layer (CESL) on device performance and reliability was investigated. In this work, device driving capability can be enhanced with thicker CESL, larger LOD and narrower gate width. With electrical and body potential inspection, serious device’s degradation happened on SOI-MOSFET with narrow gate device because of STI-induced edge current.

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...

This letter investigates hot-carrier-induced degradation on 0.1 m partially depleted silicon-on-insulator (SOI) nMOSFETs at various ambient temperatures. The thermal impact on device degradation was investigated with respect to body-contact nMOSFETs (BC-SOI) and floating-body SOI nMOSFETs (FB-SOI). Experimental results show that hot-carrier-induced degradation on drive capacity of FB-SOI device...
متن کاملPerformance Evaluation and Comparison of Ultra-thin Bulk (UTB), Partially Depleted and Fully Depleted SOI MOSFET using Silvaco TCAD Tool
Device miniaturization is an important part of VLSI design, which refers to reduction in dimension of device by keeping all other characteristic constant. As technology node is moving in submicron region, the performance of the device degrades due to short channel effects and narrow channel effects. The key issues due to these effects are draininduced-barrier– lowering (DIBL), leakage current, ...
