An InGaZnO thin film transistor with different gate lengths and widths have been fabricated and their device degradations with device sizes have been also performed after negative gate bias stress. The threshold voltage and subthreshold swing have been decreased with decrease of gate length. However, the threshold voltages were increased with the decrease of gate lengths. The transfer curves were negatively shifted after negative gate stress and the threshold voltage was decreased. However, the subthreshold swing was not changed after negative gate stress. This is due to the hole trapping in the gate dielectric materials. The decreases of the threshold voltage variation with the decrease of gate length and the increase of gate width were believed due to the less hole injection into gate dielectrics after a negative gate stress.

본 연구에서는 비대칭 이중게이트 MOSFET의 상하단 게이트 산화막 두께 비에 대한 문턱전압 및 전도중심의 변화에 대하여 분석하고자한다. 비대칭 이중게이트 MOSFET는 상하단 게이트 산화막의 두께를 다르게 제작할 수 있어 문턱전압이하 영역에서 전류를 제어할 수 있는 요소가 증가하는 장점이 있다. 상하단 게이트 산화막 두께 비에 대한 문턱전압 및 전도중심을 분석하기 위하여 포아송방정식을 이용하여 해석학적 전위분포를 구하였다. 이때 전하분포는 가우스분포함수를 이용하였다. 하단게이트 전압, 채널길이, 채널두께, 이온주입범위 및 분포편차를 파라미터로 하여 문턱전압 및 전도중심의 변화를 관찰한 결과, 문턱전압은 상하단 게이트 산화막 두께 비에 따라 큰 변화를 나타냈다. 특히 채널길이 및 채널두께의 절대값보다 비에 따라 문턱전압이 변하였으며 전도중심이 상단 게이트로 이동할 때 문턱전압은 증가하였다. 또한 분포편차보단 이온주입범위에 따라 문턱전압 및 전도중심이 크게 변화하였다.

The gate length-dependence of cutoff frequency is modeled by using scaling parameter equations of equivalent circuit parameters extracted from measured S-parameters of Nano-scale MOSFETs. It is observed that the modeled cutoff frequency initially increases with decreasing gate length and then the rate of increase becomes degraded at further scale-down. This is because the extrinsic charging time slightly decreases, although the intrinsic transit time greatly decreases with gate length reduction. The new gate length-dependent model will be very helpful to optimize RF performances of Nano-scale MOSFETs.

This paper analyzed the phenomenon of drain induced barrier lowering(DIBL) for the ratio of channel length vs. thickness of asymmetric double gate(DG) MOSFET. DIBL, the important secondary effect, is occurred for short channel MOSFET in which drain voltage influences on potential barrier height of source, and significantly affects on transistor characteristics such as threshold voltage movement. The series potential distribution is derived from Poisson's equation to analyze DIBL, and threshold voltage is defined by top gate voltage of asymmetric DGMOSFET in case the off current is 10^-7 A/m. Since asymmetric DGMOSFET has the advantage that channel length and channel thickness can significantly minimize, and short channel effects reduce, DIBL is investigated for the ratio of channel length vs. thickness in this study. As a results, DIBL is greatly influenced by the ratio of channel length vs. thickness. We also know DIBL is greatly changed for bottom gate voltage, top/bottom gate oxide thickness and channel doping concentration.

The change of subthreshold swing for channel length of asymmetric double gate(DG) MOSFET has been analyzed. The subthreshold swing is the important factor to determine digital chracteristics of transistor and is degraded with reduction of channel. The subthreshold swing for channel length of the DGMOSFET developed to solve this problem is investigated for channel thickness, oxide thickness, top and bottom gate voltage and doping concentration. Especially the subthreshold swing for asymmetric DGMOSFET to be able to be fabricated with different top and bottom gate structure is investigated in detail for bottom gate voltage and bottom oxide thickness. To obtain the analytical subthreshold swing, the analytical potential distribution is derived from Possion's equation, and Gaussian distribution function is used as doping profile. As a result, subthreshold swing is sensitively changed according to top and bottom gate voltage, channel doping concentration and channel dimension.

The optimal geometry of the gate field plate in AlGaN/GaN-on-Si HEMT has been proposed using two-dimensional device simulation to achieve a high breakdown voltage for a given gate-to-drain distance. It was found that the breakdown voltage was drastically enhanced due to the reduced electric field at the gate corner when a gate field plate was employed. The electric field distribution at the gate corner and the field plate edge was investigated as functions of field plate length and insulator thickness. According to the simulation results, the electric field at the gate corner can be successfully reduced even with the field plate length of 1 ${\mu}m$. On the other hand, when the field plate length is too long, the distance between field plate and drain electrode is reduced below a critical level, which eventually lowers the breakdown voltage. The highest breakdown voltage was achieved with the field plate length of 1 ${\mu}m$. According to the simulation results varying the $SiN_x$ film thickness for the fixed field plate length of 1 ${\mu}m$, the optimum thickness range of the $SiN_x$ film was 200 - 300 nm where the electric field strength at the field plate edge counterbalances that of the gate corner.

This paper has analyzed the variation of subthreshold swing for the ratio of channel length and thickness for asymmetric double gate MOSFET. The asymmetric double gate MOSFET has the advantage that the factors to control the short channel effects increase since top and bottom gate structure can be fabricated differently. The degradation of transport property due to rapid increase of subthreshold swing can be specially reduced in the case of reduction of channel length. However, channel thickness has to be reduced for decrease of channel length from scaling theory. The ratio of channel length vs. thickness becomes the most important factor to determine subthreshold swing. To analyze hermeneutically subthreshold swing, the analytical potential distribution is derived from Poisson's equation, and conduction path and subthreshold swing are calculated for various channel length and thickness. As a result, we know conduction path and subthreshold swing are changed for the ratio of channel length vs. thickness.

In this paper, we analyzed the DC and RF characteristics of $0.1\;{\mu}m$ metamorphic high electron mobility transistor (MHEMT) using the ISE-TCAD simulation tool. we also analyzed the effects or the scaling on vertical and lateral dimensions such as a gate length, source-drain spacing, and channel thickness. We discussed the degradation of extrinsic transconductance $g_{m,max}$ in the MHEMTs adopting the gate length $(L_g)$ of $sub-0.1\;{\mu}m$. We suggested the model describing the effects on the vertical and lateral parameter scaling.

본 연구에서는 기상 성장법 (VPE : vapor phase epitaxy) 으로 성장된 $n^+(Si:2X10^18cm^-3)$/$n(Si:1x10^17cm^-3)$구조의 시편 위에 SiN 과 감광막 등 식각 선택비가 서로 다른 두 물질로 보호된 소스와 드레인 사이의 게이트 형성 영역을 건식식각과 습식식각방법으로 리세스 에칭을 하여 형성한 후, 게이트를 자기정렬하여 형성시킬 수 있는 이중 리세스공정 기술을 개발하였고, 이를 통하여 전력용 MESFET 소자를 제작하였다.게이트 형성부분의 wide recess 폭은 건식식각으로 SiN을 측면식각(lateral etch) 함으로써 조절하였는데, 이 방법을 사용하여 MESFET 소자의 임계전압을 조절할 수 있고, 동시에 소스-드레인 항복전압을 30V 까지 향상시킬 수 있었다. 소스-드레인 항복전압은 wide recess 폭이 증가함에 따라, 그리고 게이트 길이가 길어짐에 따라 증가하는 경향을 보여주었다. 이 방법으로 제작한 여러종류의 MESFET 중에서 게이트 길이가 $2\mum$이고 소스-게이트 간격이 $3 \mum$인 MESFET의 전기적 특성은 최대 트랜스컨덕턴스가 120 mS/mm, 게이트 전압이 0.8V 일 때 포화드레인전류가 170~190mA/mm로 나타났다. 제작된 MESFET이 ($NH_4$)$_2$$S_x$ 용액에 담금처리될때 , 공기중에 노출된 게이트-드레인 사이의 n-GaAs층의 표면이 유황으로 보호되어 공기노출에 의한 표면 재산화막의 형성이 억제되었기 때문으로 사료된다.

본 연구에서는 비대칭 이중게이트 MOSFET의 채널 내 도핑농도분포에 대한 드레인유도장벽감소(Drain Induced Barrier Lowering; DIBL)에 대하여 분석하고자한다. DIBL은 드레인 전압에 의하여 소스 측 전위장벽이 낮아지는 효과로서 중요한 단채널 효과이다. 이를 분석하기 위하여 포아송방정식을 이용하여 해석학적 전위분포를 구하였으며 전위분포에 영향을 미치는 채널도핑농도의 분포함수변화에 대하여 DIBL을 관찰하였다. 채널길이, 채널두께, 상하단 게이트 산화막 두께, 하단 게이트 전압 등을 파라미터로 하여 DIBL을 관찰하였다. 결과적으로 DIBL은 채널도핑농도분포함수의 변수인 이온주입범위 및 분포편차에 변화를 나타냈다. 특히 두 변수에 대한 DIBL의 변화는 최대채널도핑농도가 $10^{18}/cm^3$ 정도로 고도핑 되었을 경우 더욱 현저히 나타나고 있었다. 채널길이가 감소할수록 그리고 채널두께가 증가할수록 DIBL은 증가하였으며 하단 게이트 전압과 상하단 게이트 산화막 두께가 증가할수록 DIBL은 증가하였다.
