چکیده

Application of double gate or surround-gate vertical metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) is hindered by the parasitic overlap capacitance associated with their layout, which is considerably larger than for a lateral MOSFET on the same technology node. A simple self-aligned process has been developed to reduce the parasitic overlap capacitance in vertical MOSFETs using nitride spacers on the sidewalls of the trench or pillar and a local oxidation. This will result in an oxide layer on all exposed planar surfaces, but no oxide layer on the protected vertical channel area of the pillar. The encroachment of the oxide on the side of the pillar is studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) which is used to calibrate the nitride viscosity in the process simulations. Surround gate vertical transistors incorporating the spacer oxidation have been fabricated, and these transistors show the integrity of the process and excellent subthreshold slope and drive current. The reduction in intrinsic capacitance is calculated to be a factor of three. Pillar capacitors with a more advanced process have been fabricated and the total measured capacitance is reduced by a factor of five compared with structures without the spacer oxidation. Device simulations confirm the measured reduction in capacitance.

Single, double and surround gate vertical MOSFETs with reduced parasitic capacitance

The vertical MOSFET structure is one of the solutions for reducing the channel length of transistors under 50 nm. Surround gates can be easily realised in vertical MOSFETs which offer increased channel width per unit silicon area. In this paper, a low overlap capacitance, surround gate, vertical MOSFET technology is presented. A new process that uses spacer or fillet local oxidation is develope...

Effects of the Spacer Length on the High-Frequency Nanoscale Field Effect Diode performance

The performance of nanoscale Field Effect Diodes as a function of the spacer length between two gates is investigated. Our numerical results show that the Ion/Ioff ratio which is a significant parameter in digital application can be varied from 101 to 104 for S-FED as the spacer length between two gates increases whereas this ratio is approximately constant for M-FED. The high-frequency perform...
