A new method for drain saturation voltage extraction in submicron MOSFETs is presented. It is based on measurements of the partial derivative of the impact ionization rate. The method has been tested using main of channel length MOSFET devices and compared with others methods.

AbstractThe goal of this work was to produce a fabrication process for high performance polycrystalline silicon thin film MOS devices. We have fabricated p-channel devices with mobilities of 35 cm2/V-sec and n-channel devices with mobilities of 50 cm2/V-sec by tailoring the process for depositon of the channel layer, by gate oxidation of the channel at high temperature, and by use of plasma hydrogenation. Under optimal conditions deduced from the study, device threshold voltages are close to zero. Leakage currents in the off-state are less than 0.1 pA/µm of channel length. Fabrication of the devices requires four mask levels and employs standard process steps. Therefore, polycrystalline silicon devices are attractive candidates for a variety of electronics applications, including thin film logic over large area.

The robustness of the reference circuit in a wide range of supply voltages is crucial in implanted devices. Conventional reference circuits have demonstrated a weak performance over wide supply ranges. Channel-length modulation in the transistors causes the circuit to be sensitive to power supply variation. To solve this inherent problem, this paper proposes a new output-voltage-line-regulation controller circuit. When a variation occurs in the power supply, the controller promptly responds to the supply deviation and removes unwanted current in the output path of the reference circuit. The proposed circuit was implemented in a 0.35-μm SK Hynix CMOS standard process. The experimental results demonstrated that the proposed reference circuit could generate a reference voltage of 0.895 V under a power supply voltage of 3.3 V, line regulation of 1.85 mV/V in the supply range of 2.3 to 5 V, maximum power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) of −54 dB, and temperature coefficient of 11.9 ppm/°C in the temperature range of 25 to 100 °C.

ABSTRACTLatchup free CMOS devices have been fabricated by forming PMOS transistors in a 0.5μm thick laser recrystallized silicon layer. This recrystallized layer is isolated fram the bulk wafer by a lμm thick oxide layer. The NMOS transistors were fabricated both in the bulk wafer in the region which was used as the recrystallization seeds, as well as in the recrystallized silicon layer itself. Ring oscillators fabricated with 3μm channel length using a bi-layer lateral CMOS structure show a naninal delay of 1.7ns/stage. The MOS devices fabricated in the recrystallized silicon show low subthreshold leakage current, and surface electron and hole mobilities of 580cm2/V.s and 210cm2/V.s respectively.
