ABSTRACTWe demonstrate that the performance of silicon carbide MESFETs is largely determined by short-channel effects. Parasitic bipolar transistor turn-on limits the operation voltage to a small fraction of the theoretically expected value for an ideal device. Tradeoffs are shown to exist between optimum gate length and on-state current on one hand, and the maximum blocking voltage on the other hand. Composite p-buffers with an elevated doping in the vicinity of the active layer considerably increase the operation voltage. Silicon carbide MESFETs utilizing composite buffers are reported.

AbstractThis work demonstrates the efficiency of a Germanium and Carbon co-implantation that suppresses the Boron Transient Enhanced Diffusion, enhances Boron activation and enables large improvement of Short Channel Effects in PMOS devices while maintaining drive current performances. We present here 65/45nm node devices on conventional bulk substrates featuring Germanium and Carbon engineered shallow junctions that enable to reduce the Drain Induced Barrier Lowering compared to devices implanted only with Boron. This improvement is attributed to the suppression of Boron channelling with Ge pre-amorphization (PAI), and to the reduction of Boron TED due to the trapping of interstitial defects by Carbon with Germanium PAI.

Submicron 4H-SiC MOSFETs are attractive for high frequency operation of 4H-SiC integrated circuits. However, the short channel effects, such as threshold voltage lowering, would be induced at the short-channel devices. In this work, short channel effects were investigated with planar and trench 4H-SiC MOSFETs, and the suppression of the short channel effect with the trench structure was achieved.

ABSTRACTWe report on our progress on the fabrication of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs with extremely short gate length. AlGaN/GaN HEMTs with different gate length from 6 νm down to 60nm were fabricated to investigate DC- and high frequency behavior as well as short channel effects. We have found that the transistors with gates in the 100 nm range can be improved in the device performance with respect to transconductance and high frequency but shows also short channel effects as the loss of saturation in the output characteristics and a strong dependency of the threshold voltage on the gate length.

ABSTRACTHydrogen terminated diamond field effect transistors (FET) of 50nm gate length have been fabricated, their DC operation characterised and their physical and chemical structure inspected by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy (EELS). DC characterisation of devices demonstrated pinch-off of the source-drain current can be maintained by the 50nm gate under low bias conditions. At larger bias, off-state output conductance increases, demonstrating most likely the onset of short-channel effects at this reduced gate length.

The effect of oxide thickness (EOT) on GaN-based double gate (DG) MOSFETs have been explored for low power switching device. The gate length (LG) of 8 nm with 4 nm underlap is considered. The device is turned off and on for gate voltage (VGS) of 0 V and 1 V, respectively. The effective oxide thickness (EOT) is varied from 1 nm to 0.5 nm and the device performance is evaluated. For EOT = 0.5 nm, the OFF-state current (IOFF), subthreshold slope (SS) and drain induced barrier lowering (DIBL) are obtained 2.97×10-8 A/μm, 69.67 mV/dec and 21.753 mV/V, respectively. These results indicate that, it is possible to minimize short channel effects (SCEs) by using smaller value of EOT.

AbstractAs extensions have been up till now always used in N-MOS transistors with an activation anneal. Here, we show that also alternative doping by P can result in junction extensions that are extremely abrupt and shallow thus suitable for upcoming transistor technologies. P extensions are manufactured by amorphization, carbon co-implantation and conventional rapid thermal annealing (RTA). The impact of Si interstitials (Sii) flux suppression on the formation of P junction extensions during RTA is demonstrated. We have concluded that optimization of implants followed by RTA spike offers excellent extensions with depth Xj = 20 nm (taken at 5 × 1018 at./cm3), abruptness 3 nm/dec. and Rs = 326 Ω. Successful implementation of these junctions is straightforward for N-MOS devices with 30 nm gate length and results in an improved short channel effects with respect to the As reference.
