A Comparative Study of Electrical Transport Phenomena in Ultrathin vs. Nanoscale SOI MOSFETs Devices
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ultrathin (UTD) and Nanoscale (NSD) SOI-MOSFET devices, sharing a similar W/L but with a channel thickness of 46nm and 1.6nm respectively, were fabricated using a selective “gate recessed” process on the same silicon wafer. The electrical transport characterization at room temperature has shown a large difference between the two kinds of devices and has been interpreted in terms of a huge unexpected series resistance. Electrical characteristics of the Nanoscale device, taken in the linear region, can be analytically derived from the ultrathin device ones. A comparison of the structure and composition of the layers, using advanced techniques such as Focused Ion Beam (FIB) and High Resolution TEM (HRTEM) coupled with Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS), contributes an explanation as to the difference of transport between the devices. Keywords—Nanoscale Devices, SOI MOSFET, Analytical Model, Electron Transport.

متن کاملModelling and simulation challenges for nanoscale MOSFETs in the ballistic limit
In this paper, we present the main issues and the modelling approaches for the simulation of nanoscale MOSFETs in which transport is dominated by ballistic electrons. We show that is indeed possible to compute in an accurate way the density of states in the channel in the case of quantum confinement without solving the complete two-dimensional Schr€ odinger equation. We are developing modelling...
