High Q frequency reference devices are essential components in many Integrated circuits. This paper will focus on the Resonant Suspended Gate (RSG) MOSFET. The gate in this structure has been designed to resonate at 38.4MHz. The MOSFET in this device has a retrograde channel to achieve high output current. For this purpose, abrupt retrograde channel and Gaussian retrograde channels have bee...

Aggressive scaling of MOS devices requires use of ultra-thin gate oxides to maintain a reasonable short channel effect and to take the advantage of higher density, high speed, lower cost etc. Such thin oxides give rise to high electric fields, resulting in considerable gate tunneling current through gate oxide in nano regime. Consequently, accurate analysis of gate tunneling current is very imp...

As the size of conventional nano-CMOS devices continues to shrink, they are beginning to approach the size of biologically relevant macromolecules such as ion channels. This, in concert with the increasing understanding of the behaviour of proteins in vivo, creates the potential for a revolution in the sensing, measurement and interaction with biological systems. In this paper we will demonstra...

According to Moore’s law, the number of transistor embedded on integrated circuit (IC) doubles approximately every two years. Thus, the size of Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET) has to be scaled down as an increase in packing density. In current technology, the size of a transistor has shrunk below 45nm, and it has already reached its physical limit. Any attempt to shri...

In this work, a novel Silicon on Insulator (SOI) MOSFET is proposed and investigated. The drain and source electrode structures are optimized to enhance ON-current while global device temperature and hot carrier injection are decreased. In addition, to create an effective heat passage from channel to outside of the device, a silicon region has embedded in the buried oxide. In order to reduce th...

When in vivo proton dosimetry is performed with a metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) detector, the response of the detector depends strongly on the linear energy transfer. The present study reports a practical method to correct the MOSFET response for linear energy transfer dependence by using a simplified Monte Carlo dose calculation method (SMC). A depth-output curve f...

This paper focuses on the role of the power MOSFET in achieving high-efficiency converter design. It provides a brief overview of current low-voltage MOSFET trench technologies, along with a discussion about onresistance versus gate charge trade-offs for MOSFETs optimized for use as control or synchronous switches. It covers the importance of the integrated Schottky diode (SyncFETTM MOSFET) in ...
