매몰 산화층 밑의 실리콘 기판에 자기정렬 방법으로 ground plane 전극을 만든 SOI MOSFET의 단채널 현상과 Punchthrough 특성을 측정·분석하였다. 채널 길이가 $0.2{\mu}m$ 이하의 소자에서는 GP-SOI 소자가 FD-SOI 소자보다 채널 길이에 따른 문턱전압 저하 및 subthreshold swing이 작고 DIBL 현상이 크게 개선됨을 알 수 있었다. 기판전압에 따른 문턱전압 특성으로부터 GP-SOI 소자의 body factor가 FD-SOI 소자보다 큰 것을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 punchthrough 전압 특성으로부터 GP-SOI 소자의 punchthrough 전압이 FD-SOI 소자보다 큰 것을 알 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 NQS(non-quasi-static)효과를 고려한 FD(fully depleted)-SOI(silicon-on-insulator) MOSFETs의 고주파 소신호 모델링을 위한 등가회로 변수들을 간단하고 정확히 추출하는 방법을 제시하였다. 제시된 추출방법은 임피던스와 어드미턴스 행렬계산으로 S-파라미터의 측정 결과로부터 MOSFET의 외부 기생용량과 기생저항을 제거하여 물리적인 특성을 바탕으로 한 MOSFET의 내부등가회로변수가 간단히 추출되어진다. 제시된 방법으로 등가 회로를 구한 후 Y-파라미터를 계산하여 측정치와 비교한 결과 500MHz부터 200Hz까지 잘 일치함을 확인하였다.

SOI 구조에서 형성된 MOS 트랜지스터의 장점과 strained Si에서 전자의 이동도가 향상되는 효과를 동시에 고려하기 위해 buried oxide(BOX)층과 Top Si층 사이에 Ge을 삽입하여 strained Si/relaxed SiGe/SiO₂Si 구조를 형성하고 strained Si fully depletion(FD) n-MOSFET를 제작하였다. 상부 strained Si층과 하부 SiGe층의 두께의 합을 12.8nm로 고정하고 상부 strained Si 층의 두께에 변화를 주어 두께의 변화가 electron mobility에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. Strained Si/relaxed SiGe/SiO2/Si (strained Si/SGOI) 구조위의 FD n-MOSFET의 전자 이동도는 Si/SiO₂/Si (SOI) 구조위의 FD n-MOSFET 에 비해 30-80% 항상되었다. 상부 strained Si 층과 하부 SiGe 층의 두께의 합을 12.8nm 로 고정한 shrined Si/SGOI 구조 FD n-MOSFET에서 상부층 strained Si층의 두께가 감소하면 하부층 SiGe 층 두께 증가로 인한 Ge mole fraction이 증가함에 의해 inter-valley scattering 이 감소함에도 불구하고 n-channel 층의 전자이동도가 감소하였다. 이는 strained Si층의 두께가 감소할수록 2-fold valley에 있는 전자가 n-channel 층에 더욱더 confinement 되어 intra-valley phonon scattering 이 증가하여 전자 이동도가 감소함이 이론적으로 확인되었다.

A new two-dimensional analytical model for dual-material double-gate fully-depleted SOI MOSFET with Pearson-IV type Doping Distribution is presented. An investigation of electrical MOSFET parameters i.e. drain current, transconductance, channel resistance and device capacitance in DM DG FD SOI MOSFET is carried out with Pearson-IV type doping distribution as it is essential to establish proper profiles to get the optimum performance of the device. These parameters are categorically derived keeping view of potential at the center (${\phi}_c$) of the double gate SOI MOSFET as it is more sensitive than the potential at the surface (${\phi}_s$). The proposed structure is such that the work function of the gate material (both sides) near the source is higher than the one near the drain. This work demonstrates the benefits of high performance proposed structure over their single material gate counterparts. The results predicted by the model are compared with those obtained by 2D device simulator ATLAS to verify the accuracy of the proposed model.

An analysis of the 1/f or flicker noise in FD n-channel Double Gate SOI MOSFET is proposed. In this paper, the variation of power spectral density (PSD) of the equivalent noise voltage and noise current with respect to frequency, channel length and gate-to-source voltage at various temperatures and exponent $C(i.e\;1/f^c$ is reported. The temperature is varied 125 K from to room temperature. The variation of PSD with respect to channel length down to $0.1{\mu}m$ technology is considered. It is analyzed that l/f noise in FD n-channel Double Gate SOI MOSFET is due to both carrierdensity fluctuations and mobility-fluctuations. But controversy still exits to its origin.

10nm 이하의 두께를 갖는 얇은 SOI 층 위에서 우수한 동작 특성을 보이는 Fully-Depleted SOI nMOSFET 을 제작하였다. 게이트의 길이가 큰 경우에는 SOI 층이 얇지 않아도 좋은 특성을 보이지만, 게이트 길이가 100nm 이하에서는 Short Channel Effect 에 의한 특성 열화 때문에 SOI thin body 의 두께가 게이트 길이에 따라 같이 얇아져야 한다. [1] 100nm 게이트 길이 SOI-NMOSFET에서 10nm 이하 body 두께에 따라 Vth는 조금 상승했고, Subthreshold slope은 조금 개선되는 특성을 보였다. 또한, 45nm 게이트 길이와 3nm 로 추정되는 body 두께를 갖는 nMOSFET 에서 우수한 I-V 동작 특성을 얻었다.

In this work, we present a unified analytical surface potential model, valid for both PD and FD SOI MOSFETs. Our model is based on a simplified one dimensional and purely analytical approach, and builds upon an existing model, proposed by Yu et al. [4], which is one of the most recent compact analytical surface potential models for SOI MOSFETs available in the literature, to improve its accuracy and remove its inconsistencies, thereby adding to its robustness. The model given by Yu et al. [4] fails entirely in modeling the variation of the front surface potential with respect to the changes in the substrate voltage, which has been corrected in our modified model. Also, [4] produces self-inconsistent results due to misinterpretation of the operating mode of an SOI device. The source of this error has been traced in our work and a criterion has been postulated so as to avoid any such error in future. Additionally, a completely new expression relating the front and back surface potentials of an FD SOI film has been proposed in our model, which unlike other models in the literature, takes into account for the first time in analytical one dimensional modeling of SOI MOSFETs, the contribution of the increasing inversion charge concentration in the silicon film, with increasing gate voltage, in the strong inversion region. With this refinement, the maximum percent error of our model in the prediction of the back surface potential of the SOI film amounts to only 3.8% as compared to an error of about 10% produced by the model of Yu et al. [4], both with respect to MEDICI simulation results.

In the past few decades, CMOS logic technologies and devices have been successfully developed with the steady miniaturization of the feature size. At the sub-30-nm CMOS technology nodes, one of the main hurdles for continuously and successfully scaling down CMOS devices is the parametric failure caused by random variations such as line edge roughness (LER), random dopant fluctuation (RDF), and work-function variation (WFV). The characteristics of each random variation source and its effect on advanced device structures such as multigate and ultra-thin-body devices (vs. conventional planar bulk MOSFET) are discussed in detail. Further, suggested are suppression methods for the LER-, RDF-, and WFV-induced threshold voltage (VTH) variations in advanced CMOS logic technologies including the double-patterning and double-etching (2P2E) technique and in advanced device structures including the fully depleted silicon-on-insulator (FD-SOI) MOSFET and FinFET/tri-gate MOSFET at the sub-30-nm nodes. The segmented-channel MOSFET (SegFET) and junctionless transistor (JLT) that can suppress the random variations and the SegFET-/JLT-based static random access memory (SRAM) cell that enhance the read and write margins at a time, though generally with a trade-off between the read and the write margins, are introduced.

In this presentation, we investigated the abnormal subthreshold slope of the FD SOI MOSFETs upon the rapid thermal annealing. Based on subthreshold technique and C-V measurement, we deduced that the hump of the subthreshold slope comes from the abnormal D$_{it}$ distribution after RTA. The local kink in the interface trap density distribution by RTA drastically degrades the subthreshold characteristics and mini hump can be eliminated by S-PGA.A.

Capacitorless one transistor dynamic random access memory (1T-DRAM) cells were fabricated on the fully depleted strained-silicon-on-insulator (FD sSOI) and the effects of silicon back interface state on buried oxide (BOX) layer on the memory properties were evaluated. As a result, the fabricated 1T-DRAM cells showed superior electrical characteristics and a large sensing current margin (${\Delta}I_s$) between "1" state and "0" state. The back interface of SOI based capacitorless 1T-DRAM memory cell plays an important role on the memory performance. As the back interface properties were degraded by increase rapid thermal annealing (RTA) process, the performance of 1T-DRAM was also degraded. On the other hand, the properties of back interface and the performance of 1T-DRAM were considerably improved by post RTA annealing process at $450^{\circ}C$ for 30 min in a 2% $H_2/N_2$ ambient.
