NAND-type SONOS with a separated double-gate FinFET structure (SDF-Fin SONOS) flash memory devices are proposed to reduce the unit cell size of the memory device and increase the memory density in comparison with conventional non volatile memory devices. The proposed memory device consists of a pair of control gates separated along the direction of the Fin width. There are two unique alternative technologies in this study. One is a channel doping method and the other is an oxide thickness variation method, which are used to operate the SDF-Fin SONOS memory device as two-bit. The fabrication processes and the device characteristics are simulated by using technology comuter-adided(TCAD). The simulation results indicate that the charge trap probability depends on the different channel doping concentration and the tunneling oxide thickness. The proposed SDG-Fin SONOS memory devices hold promise for potential application.

Recently, the first generation of mass production of FinFET-based microprocessors has begun, and scaling of FinFET transistors is ongoing. Traditional capacitance and resistance models cannot be applied to nonplanar-gate transistors like FinFETs. Although scaling of nanoscale FinFETs may alleviate electrostatic limitations, parasitic capacitances and resistances increase owing to the increasing proximity of the source/drain (S/D) region and metal contact. In this paper, we develop analytical models of parasitic components of FinFETs that employ the raised source/drain structure and metal contact. The accuracy of the proposed model is verified with the results of a 3-D field solver, Raphael. We also investigate the effects of layout changes on the parasitic components and the current-gain cutoff frequency ($f_T$). The optimal FinFET layout design for RF performance is predicted using the proposed analytical models. The proposed analytical model can be implemented as a compact model for accurate circuit simulations.

In this work, the temperature dependence of electrical parameters of nanoscale SOI (silicon-on-insulator) TG (triple gate) n-FinFET (n-channel Fin field effect transistor) was investigated. Numerical device simulator $ATLAS^{TM}$ was used to construct, examine, and simulate the structure in three dimensions with different models. The drain current, transconductance, threshold voltage, subthreshold swing, leakage current, drain induced barrier lowering, and on/off current ratio were studied in various biasing configurations. The temperature dependence of the main electrical parameters of a SOI TG n-FinFET was analyzed and discussed. Increased temperature led to degraded performance of some basic parameters such as subthreshold swing, transconductance, on-current, and leakage current. These results might be useful for further development of devises to strongly down-scale the manufacturing process.

We propose a damascene gate FinFET with Si nanocrystals implemented on bulk silicon wafer for low voltage flash memory device. The use of optimized SRON (Silicon-Rich Oxynitride) process allows a high degree of control of the Si excess in the oxide. The FinFET with Si nanocrystals shows high program/erase (P/E) speed, large $V_{TH}$ shifts over 2.5V at 12V/$10{\mu}s$ for program and -12V/1ms for erase, good retention time, and acceptable endurance characteristics. Si nanocrystal memory with damascene gate FinFET is a solution of gate stack and voltage scaling for future generations of flash memory device. Index Terms-FinFET, Si-nanocrystal, SRON(Si-Rich Oxynitride), flash memory device.

Threshold voltage ($V_{th}$) modeling of doublegate (DG) MOSFETs was performed, for the first time, by considering barrier lowering in the short channel devices. As the gate length of DG MOSFETs scales down, the overlapped charge-sharing length ($x_h$) in the channel which is related to the barrier lowering becomes very important. A fitting parameter ${\delta}_w$ was introduced semi-empirically with the fin body width and body doping concentration for higher accuracy. The $V_{th}$ model predicted well the $V_{th}$ behavior with fin body thickness, body doping concentration, and gate length. Our compact model makes an accurate $V_{th}$ prediction of DG devices with the gate length up to 20-nm.

전체 채널 폭은 같지만 핀 수와 핀 폭이 다른 n-채널 MuGFET의 특성을 측정 비교 분석하였다. 사용된 소자는 Pi-gate 구조의 MuGFET이며 핀 수가 16이며 핀 폭이 55nm인 소자와 핀 수가 14이며 핀 폭이 80nm인 2 종류의 소자이다. 측정 소자성능은 문턱전압, 이동도, 문턱전압 roll-off, DIBL, inverse subthreshold slope, PBTI, hot carrier 소자열화 및 드레인 항복전압 이다. 측정 결과 핀 폭이 작으며 핀 수가 많은 소자의 단채널 현상이 우수한 것을 알 수 있었다. PBTI에 의한 소자열화는 핀 수가 많은 소자가 심하며 hot carrier에 의한 소자열화는 비슷한 것을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 드레인 항복 전압은 핀 폭이 작고 핀 수가 많은 소자가 높은 것을 알 수 있었다. 단채널 현상과 소자열화 및 드레인 항복전압 특성을 고려하면 MuGFET소자 설계 시 핀 폭을 작게 핀 수를 많게 하는 것이 바람직하다.

A simple doping method to fabricate a very thin channel body of the n-type fin field-effect-transistor (FinFET) with a 20 nm gate length by solid-phase-diffusion (SPD) process is presented. Using As-doped spin-on-glass as a diffusion source of arsenic and the rapid thermal annealing, the n-type source-drain extensions with a three-dimensional structure of the FinFET devices were doped. The junction properties of arsenic doped regions were investigated by using the $n^+$-p junction diodes which showed excellent electrical characteristics. Single channel and multi-channel n-type FinFET devices with a gate length of 20-100 nm was fabricated by As-SPD and revealed superior device scalability.

In this study, we evaluated the temperature-dependent characteristics of homojunction InGaAs vertical Fin-shaped Tunnel Field-Effect Transistors (Fin TFETs), which were fabricated using a novel nano-fin patterning technique in which the Au electroplating and the high-temperature InGaAs dry-etching processes were combined. The fabricated homojunction InGaAs vertical Fin TFETs, with a fin width and gate length of 60 nm and 100 nm, respectively, exhibited excellent device characteristics, such as a minimum subthreshold swing of 80 mV/decade for drain voltage (V_DS) = 0.3 V at 300 K. We also analyzed the temperature-dependent characteristics of the fabricated TFETs and confirmed that the on-state characteristics were insensitive to temperature variations. From 77 K to 300 K, the subthreshold swing at gate voltage (V_GS) = threshold voltage (V_T), and it was constant at 115 mV/decade, thereby indicating that the conduction mechanism through band-to-band tunneling influenced the on-state characteristics of the devices.
