Multiple Nanowire Gate Field Effect Transistors

چکیده
Novel metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) architectures aimed at sub IV operation with enhanced current driving capability are reported. In our design, the planar channel region in a conventional MOSFET is replaced by an array of isolated Si wires. Directional metal coverage of the two sidewalls and the top surface of each Si wire help achieve enhanced gate control. Sub IV operation is achieved by reducing cross-sectional wire diameters to -0.05 urn. Since the conventional optical lithography techniques lack patterning resolution at this scale, a mix and match approach with interferometric lithography was employed. Super-resolution capability of interferometric lithography was applied to pattern nanoscale Si wires, while optical lithography was used to pattern non-critical device levels. Drain current versus gate voltage measurements of planar and wire MOSFETs demonstrated the superiority of the multiple nanowire gate design. Increasing the number of 0.05|im diameter wires significantly increased current flow in the channel region without sacrificing the lowvoltage operation. The mix and match approach for patterning critical level nanoscale features represents a low-cost complement to optical lithography.

Gate coupling and charge distribution in nanowire field effect transistors.
We have modeled the field and space charge distributions in back-gate and top-gate nanowire field effect transistors by solving the three-dimensional Poisson's equation numerically. It is found that the geometry of the gate oxide, the semiconductivity of the nanowire, and the finite length of the device profoundly affect both the total amount and the spatial distribution of induced charges in t...
