Floating Body and Hot Carrier Effects in Ultra-Thin Film SOI MOSFETs
نویسندگان
چکیده
Floating body and hot carrier effects are thoroughly investigated in deep submicron Nand Pchannel ultra-thin film SO1 MOSFETs for a wide temperature range. A strong reduction of the parasitic bipolar transistor is obtained with decreasing the temperature (at 77K) and with a grounded substrate. However, the action of the PBT is not completely suppressed even at 77K with a body terminal. Substantial deviations from the traditional bell-shaped curves are found for the substrate current in Nand Pchannel SO1 devices and are attributed to the PBT carrier transport. The influence of these special SO1 mechanisms on gate current is also underlined. Finally, original variations of hot carrier effects as a function of the temperature are shown and explained by the aforementioned SO1 electrical properties and the differences between inversion and accumulation-mode devices.

An Improved Energy Transport Model Suitable for Simulation of Partially Depleted SOI MOSFETs
When applied to partially depleted SOI MOSFETs, the energy transport model predicts anomalous output characteristics. The effect that the drain current reaches a maximum and then decreases is peculiar to the energy transport model. It is not present in drift-diffusion simulations and its occurrence in measurements is questionable. The effect is due to an overestimation of the diffusion of chann...

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 کاملThe effects of strain on carrier transport in thin and ultra-thin SOI MOSFETs
Thin-body MOSFET geometries such as fully-depleted SO1 and double-gate devices are attractive because they can offer superior scaling properties compared to bulk and thick-body SO1 devices. The electrostatics of a MOSFET limit how short of a gate length can be achieved before the gate loses control over the channel. In bulk-like devices, the device designer keeps the gate in control with gate o...
متن کاملHot-Carrier-Induced Degradation for Partially Depleted SOI 0.25–0.1 m CMOSFET With 2-nm Thin Gate Oxide
Hot-carrier-induced degradation of partially depleted SOI CMOSFETs was investigated with respect to body-contact (BC-SOI) and floating-body (FB-SOI) for channel lengths ranging from 0.25 down to 0.1 m with 2 nm gate oxide. It is found that the valence-band electron tunneling is the main factor of device degradation for the SOI CMOSFET. In the FB-SOI nMOSFET, both the floating body effect (FBE) ...
