The electrical characteristics of In0.53Ga0.47As MOSFET grown with Si interface passivation layer (IPL) and highkgate oxide HfO2layer have been investigated in detail. The influences of Si IPL thickness, gate oxide HfO2thickness, the doping depth, and concentration of source and drain layer on output and transfer characteristics of the MOSFET at fixed gate or drain voltages have been individually simulated and analyzed. The determination of the above parameters is suggested based on their effect on maximum drain current, leakage current, saturated voltage, and so forth. It is found that the channel length decreases with the increase of the maximum drain current and leakage current simultaneously. Short channel effects start to appear when the channel length is less than 0.9 μm and experience sudden sharp increases which make device performance degrade and reach their operating limits when the channel length is further lessened down to 0.5 μm. The results demonstrate the usefulness of short channel simulations for designs and optimization of next-generation electrical and photonic devices.

MOSFET have been scaled down over the past few years in order to give rise to high circuit density and increase the speed of circuit. But scaling of MOSFET leads to issues such as poor control gate over the current which depends on gate voltage. Many short channel effects (SCE) influence the circuit performance and leads to the indeterminist response of drain current. These effects can be decreased by gate excitation or by using multiple gates and by offering better control gate the device parameters. In Single gate MOSFET, gate electric field decreases but multigate MOSFET or FinFET provides better control over drain current. In this paper, different FET structures such as MOSFET, TFET and FINFET are designed at 22nm channel length and effect of doping had been evaluated and studied. To evaluate the performance donor concentration is kept constant and acceptor concentration is varied.

Vertical nanowire surrounding gate field effect transistors (SGFETs) provide full gate control over the channel to eliminate short-channel effects. This paper presents design and characterization of a differential pair amplifier using NMOS and PMOS SGFETs with a 10 nm channel length and a 2 nm channel radius. The amplifier dissipates 5 μW power and provides 5 THz bandwidth with a voltage gain of 16, a linear output voltage swing of 0.5 V, and a distortion better than 3% from a 1.8 V power supply and a 20 aF capacitive load. The 2nd- and 3rd-order harmonic distortions of the amplifier are −40 dBm and −52 dBm, respectively, and the 3rd-order intermodulation is −24 dBm for a two-tone input signal with 10 mV amplitude and 10 GHz frequency spacing. All these parameters indicate that vertical nanowire surrounding gate transistors are promising candidates for the next generation high-speed analog and VLSI technologies.

Threshold voltage roll-off is analyzed for sub-10 nm asymmetric double gate (DG) MOSFET. Even asymmetric DGMOSFET will increase threshold voltage roll-off in sub-10 nm channel length because of short channel effects due to the increase of tunneling current, and this is an obstacle against the miniaturization of asymmetric DGMOSFET. Since asymmetric DGMOSFET can be produced differently in top and bottom oxide thickness, top and bottom oxide thicknesses will affect the threshold voltage roll-off. To analyze this, <em>thermal</em><em> </em>emission current and tunneling current have been calculated, and threshold voltage roll-off by the reduction of channel length has been analyzed by using channel thickness and top/bottom oxide thickness as parameters. As a result, it is found that, in short channel asymmetric double gate MOSFET, threshold voltage roll-off is changed greatly according to top/bottom gate oxide thickness, and that threshold voltage roll-off is more influenced by silicon thickness. In addition, it is found that top and bottom oxide thickness have a relation of inverse proportion mutually for maintaining identical threshold voltage. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the leakage current of the top gate related with threshold voltage by increasing the thickness of the top gate oxide while maintaining the same threshold voltage.

Nowadays, the endlessly increasing demand for faster and complex integrated circuits (IC) has been fuelled by the scaling of metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect-transistors (MOSFET) to smaller dimensions. The continued scaling of MOSFETs approaches its physical limits due to short-channel effects (SCE). Double-gate (DG) MOSFET is one of the promising alternatives as it offers better immunity towards SCEs and can be scaled to the shortest channel length. In future, ICs can be designed using DG-CMOS technology for which mathematical models depicting the electrical characteristics of the DG MOSFETs are foremost needed. In this paper, a review on n-type symmetric DG MOSFETs models has been presented based on the analyses of electrostatic potential distribution, threshold voltage, and drain-current models. Mathematical derivations of the device models are described elaborately, and numerical simulations are also carried out to validate the replicability of models.

Analytical modelling for a tri material cylindrical gate tunnel FET is developed in this paper. Poisson equation and parabolic approximation technique are employed to develop the analytical model of the proposed device. Inorder to eliminate the influence of short channel effects and the leakage current, a surrounding gate with three different work function materials is used. Stacked dielectric or hetero-dielectric is used to improve the ON current of device. Performance of the device has been analyzed with different gate material lengths such as 10 nm, 15 nm and 20 nm. The developed 2-D mathematical model is used to obtain results like drain current, surface potential and electrical field in the vertical and lateral direction. From the results, a reduction in the device limitations is inferred and the leakage current is also considerably reduced. It has been found from the presented results that the proposed device structure Tri Material Cylindrical Gate Tunnel FET (TM CG TFET) provides the improved ON state current (10-3A/µm) and reduced OFF state current (10-14A/µm). The accuracy of the results and characteristics of the device are evaluated using TCAD simulations.

GaN-based double gate metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (DG-MOSFETs) in sub-10 nm regime have been designed for the next generation logic applications. To rigorously evaluate the device performance, non-equilibrium Green’s function formalism are performed using SILVACO ATLAS. The device is turn on at gate voltage, VGS =1 V while it is going to off at VGS = 0 V. The ON-state and OFF-state drain currents are found as 12 mA/μm and ~10-8 A/μm, respectively at the drain voltage, VDS = 0.75 V. The sub-threshold slope (SS) and drain induced barrier lowering (DIBL) are ~69 mV/decade and ~43 mV/V, which are very compatible with the CMOS technology. To improve the figure of merits of the proposed device, source to gate (S-G) and gate to drain (G-D) distances are varied which is mentioned as underlap. The lengths are maintained equal for both sides of the gate. The SS and DIBL are decreased with increasing the underlap length (LUN). Though the source to drain resistance is increased for enhancing the channel length, the underlap architectures exhibit better performance due to reduced capacitive coupling between the contacts (S-G and G-D) which minimize the short channel effects. Therefore, the proposed GaN-based DG-MOSFETs as one of the excellent promising candidates to substitute currently used MOSFETs for future high speed applications.

<p>Square gate all around MOSFETs are a very promising device structures allowing to continue scaling due to their superior control over the short channel effects. In this work a numerical study of a square structure with single channel is compared to a structure with 4 channels in order to highlight the impact of channels number<em> </em>on the device’s DC parameters (drain current and threshold voltage). Our single channel rectangular GAA MOSFET showed reasonable ratio Ion/Ioff of 10<sup>4</sup>, while our four channels GAA MOSFET showed a value of 10<sup>3</sup>. In addition, a low value of drain induced barrier lowering<em> (DIBL) of </em>60mV/V was obtained for our single channel GAA and a lower value of with 40mv/v has been obtained for our four channel one. Also, an extrinsic transconductance of 88ms/µm have been obtained for our four channels GAA compared to the single channel that is equal to 7ms/µm.</p>
