scholarly journals Performance Measures of Different Gate Oxide Materials in Gate All Around Fet

The classical planar Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors (MOSFET) is fabricated by oxidation of a semiconductor namely Silicon. In this generation, an advanced technique called 3D system architecture FETs, are introduced for high performance and low power quality of devices. Based on the limitations of Short Channel Effect (SCE), Silicon (Si) FET cannot be scaled under 10nm. Hence various performing measures like methods, principles, and geometrics are done to upscale the semiconductor. CMOS using alternate channel materials like GE and III-Vs on substrates is a highly anticipated technique for developing nanowire structures. By considering these issues, in this paper, we developed a simulation model that provides accurate results basing on Gate layout and multi-gate NW FET's so that the scaling can be increased few nanometers long and performance limits gradually increases. The model developed is SILVACO that tests the action of FET with different gate oxide materials.

A 2D surface potential analytical model of a channel with graded channel triple material double gate (GCTMDG) Silicon-on-Nothing (SON) MOSFET is proposed by intermixing the benefits of triple material in gate engineering and graded doping in the channel. The surface potential distribution function of the GCTMDG SON MOSFET is obtained by solving the Poisson's equation, applying suitable boundary conditions, and using a parabolic approximation method. It is seen in the proposed device that the Short Channel Effects (SCEs) are subdued due to the apprehensible step in the surface potential profile that screen the potential of the drain. The effects of the various device parameters are studied to check the merit of the device. For the validation of the proposed device, it is compared with the simulated results of ATLASTM, a device simulator from SILVACO.

Characteristics of metal–oxide–semiconductor (MOS) capacitors and MOS field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) fabricated by direct oxidation of C-face 4H-SiC in NO were investigated. It was found that nitridation of the C-face 4H-SiC MOS interface generates near-interface traps (NITs) in the oxide. These traps capture channel mobile electrons and degrade the performance of MOSFETs. The NITs can be reduced by unloading the samples at room temperature after oxidation. It is important to reduce not only the interface states but also the NITs to fabricate high-performance C-face 4H-SiC MOSFETs with nitrided gate oxide.

Abstract Silicon (Si) nanosheet (NS) metal-oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) are realized as an outstanding structure to obtain better area scaling and power performance compared to FinFETs. Si NS MOSFETs provide high current drivability due to wider effective channel (Weff) and maintain better short channel performance. Here, the performance of junctionless (JL) NS p-MOSFET was evaluated by invoking HfxTi1-xO2 gate stack. The device performance was enhanced using various spacer dielectrics and the electrical characteristics are presented. Moreover, the effect of NS width variation on ION/IOFF, SS, Vth is presented and the analog/RF metrics of the device are evaluated. The power analysis of NS MOSFET is presented with respect to the ITRS road map. Our investigation reveals that the device exhibits an ION/IOFF ratio of more than ~106 with NS widths of 10 to 30 nm, respectively. For high-performance applications, the device exhibits better performance (ION) with higher NS widths. However, the threshold voltage downfall leads to deterioration in subthreshold performance with an increase in NS widths. With Si3N4 as a spacer dielectric the device exhibits better static power consumption for the CMOS inverter. By careful control of NS width and effective usage of spacer dielectric ensures better p-MOSFET design for future technology nodes.

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.

The continuous down-scaling of complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) field effect transistors (FETs) had been suffering two fateful technical issues, one relative to the thinning of gate dielectric and the other to the aggressive shortening of channel in last 20 years. To solve the first issue, the high-κ dielectric and metal gate technology had been induced to replace the conventional gate stack of silicon dioxide layer and poly-silicon. To suppress the short channel effects, device architecture had changed from planar bulk Si device to fully depleted silicon on insulator (FDSOI) and FinFETs, and will transit to gate all-around FETs (GAA-FETs). Different from the planar devices, the FinFETs and GAA-FETs have a 3D channel. The conventional high-κ/metal gate process using sputtering faces conformality difficulty, and all atomic layer deposition (ALD) of gate stack become necessary. This review covers both scientific and technological parts related to the ALD of metal gates including the concept of effect work function, the material selection, the precursors for the deposition, the threshold voltage (Vt) tuning of the metal gate in contact with HfO2/SiO2/Si. The ALD of n-type metal gate will be detailed systematically, based mainly on the authors’ works in last five years, and the all ALD gate stacks will be proposed for the future generations based on the learning.

In a previous study, we have demonstrated that beryllium oxide (BeO) film grown by atomic layer deposition (ALD) on Si and III-V MOS devices has excellent electrical and physical characteristics. In this paper, we compare the electrical characteristics of inserting an ultrathin interfacial barrier layer such as SiO2, Al2O3, or BeO between the HfO2gate dielectric and Si substrate in metal oxide semiconductor capacitors (MOSCAPs) and n-channel inversion type metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs). Si MOSCAPs and MOSFETs with a BeO/HfO2gate stack exhibited high performance and reliability characteristics, including a 34% improvement in drive current, slightly better reduction in subthreshold swing, 42% increase in effective electron mobility at an electric field of 1 MV/cm, slightly low equivalent oxide thickness, less stress-induced flat-band voltage shift, less stress induced leakage current, and less interface charge.

We review the modeling of silicon MOS devices in the 10–300 K temperature range with an emphasis on the specifics of low-temperature operation. Recently developed one-dimensional models of long-channel transistors are discussed in connection with experimental determination and verification of the effective channel mobility in a wide temperature range. We also present analytical pseudo-two-dimensional models of short-channel devices which have been proposed for potential use in circuit simulators. Several one-, two-, and three-dimensional numerical models are discussed in order to gain insight into the more subtle details of the low-temperature device physics of MOS transistors and capacitors. Particular attention is paid to freezeout effects which, depending on the device design and the ambient temperature range, may or may not be important for actual device operation. The numerical models are applied to study the characteristic time scale of freezeout transients in the space-charge regions of silicon devices, to the analysis and suppression of delayed turn-off in MOS transistors with compensated channel, and to the temperature dependence of three-dimensional effects in short-channel, narrow-channel MOSFETs.

AbstractAchieving high-performance p-type semiconductors has been considered one of the most challenging tasks for three-dimensional vertically integrated nanoelectronics. Although many candidates have been presented to date, the facile and scalable realization of high-mobility p-channel field-effect transistors (FETs) is still elusive. Here, we report a high-performance p-channel tellurium (Te) FET fabricated through physical vapor deposition at room temperature. A growth route involving Te deposition by sputtering, oxidation and subsequent reduction to an elemental Te film through alumina encapsulation allows the resulting p-channel FET to exhibit a high field-effect mobility of 30.9 cm2 V−1 s−1 and an ION/OFF ratio of 5.8 × 105 with 4-inch wafer-scale integrity on a SiO2/Si substrate. Complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) inverters using In-Ga-Zn-O and 4-nm-thick Te channels show a remarkably high gain of ~75.2 and great noise margins at small supply voltage of 3 V. We believe that this low-cost and high-performance Te layer can pave the way for future CMOS technology enabling monolithic three-dimensional integration.
