Reverse-Order Source/Drain with Double Offset Spacer Design Optimization for Sub-50-nm Low-Power MOSFETs
نویسندگان
چکیده
We optimized a RODOS (reverse-order source/drain formation with double offset spacer) structure in terms of the gate delay (CV/I) and the switching energy (CV). Simulations confirmed that the poly-Si depletion effect, the DC characteristics, the gate delay and the switching energy were enhanced. In the case of 50-nm nMOSFETs, they showed a 794-μA/μm on-current, a 0.1-nA/μm off-current, a 65-mV/V DIBL (drain induced barrier lowering), an 80-mV/dec SS (subthreshold slope), a 1.29-ps CV/I, and a 0.151-fJ CV. Finally, they confirmed that the RODOS MOSFET was a good approach to a planar MOSFET structure for mobile appliances.

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...
متن کاملIntrinsic Fluctuations in Sub 10-nm Double-Gate MOSFETs Introduced by Discreteness of Charge and Matter
We study, using numerical simulation, the intrinsic parameter fluctuations in sub 10 nm gate length double gate MOSFETs introduced by discreteness of charge and atomicity of matter. The employed “atomistic” drift-diffusion simulation approach includes quantum corrections based on the density gradient formalism. The quantum confinement and source-to-drain tunnelling effects are carefully calibra...

Design of Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver with a low noise amplifier (LNA) in the front end remains a major design requirement for the success of modern day navigation and communication system. Any LNA is expected to meet the requirements like its ability to add the least amount of noise while providing sufficient gain, perfect input and output matching, and high linearity. However, mo...

متن کاملNon Classical Design in MOSFETs for Improving OTA gain-bandwidth trade off
In this paper, gain-bandwidth (GB) trade-off associated with analog device/circuit design due to conflicting requirements for enhancing gain and cutoff frequency is examined. It is demonstrated that the use of a nonclassical source/drain (S/D) profile (also known as underlap channel) can alleviate the GB trade-off associated with analog design. Operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) with ...
