In this work, the characteristics of GIDL current in nanowire GAA MOSFET with different channel width and hot carrier stress. When the gate length is fixed as a 250nm the GIDL current with different channel width of 10nm, 50nm, 80nm, and 130nm have been measured and analyzed. From the measurement, the GIDL is increased as the channel width decreaes. However, the derive current is increased as the channel width increases. From measurement results after hot carrier stress, the variation of GIDL current is increased with decreasing channel width. Finally, the reasons for the increase of GIDL current with decreasing channel width and r device. according to hot carrier stress GIDL's variation shows big change when width and the increase of GIDL current after hot carrier stress are confirmed through the device simulation.

The Gate-Induced-Drain-Leakage (GIDL) current with channel doping and width dependence are characterized. The GIDL currents are found to increase in MOSFETs with higher channel doping levels and the observed GIDL current is generated by the band-to-band-tunneling (BTBT) of electron through the reverse-biased channel-to-drain p-n junction. A BTBT model is used to fit the measured GIDL currents under different channel-doping levels. Good agreement is obtained between the modeled results and experimental data. The increase of the GIDL current at narrower widths in mainly caused by the stronger gate field at the edge of the shallow trench isolation (STI). As channel width decreases, a larger portion of the GIDL current is generated at the channel-isolation edge. Therefore, the stronger gate field at the channel-isolation edge causes the total unit-width GIDL current to increases for narrow-width devices.

The gate induced drain leakage(GIDL) current under the stress of worse case in -MOSFET's with ultrathin gate oxides has been measured and characterized. The GIDL current was shown that P-MOSFET's of the thicker gate oxide is smaller than that of the thinner gate oxide. It was the results that the this cur-rent is decreased with the increamental stress time at the same devices.It is analyzed that the formation components of GIDL current are both energy band to band tunneling at high gate-drain voltage and energy band to defect tunneling at low drain-gate voltage. The degradations of GIDL current was analyzed the mechanism of major role in the hot carriers trapping in gate oxide by on-state stress.

It has analyzed that the device degradation by NBTI (Negative Bias Temperature Instability) stress induced the increase of gate-induced-drain-leakage(GIDL) current for p-MOSFETs. It is shown that the degradation magnitude, as well as its time, temperature, and field dependence, is govern by interface traps density at the silicon/oxide interface. from the relation between the variation of threshold voltage and subthreshold slope, it has been found that the dominant mechanism for device degradation is the interface state generation. From the GIDL measurement results, we confined that the EHP generation in interface state due to NBTI stress led to the increase of GIDL current. Therefore, one should take care of the increased GIDL current after NBTI stress in the ultra-thin gate oxide device. Also, the simultaneous consideration of reliability characteristics and dc device performance is highly necessary in the stress engineering of nanoscale CMOSFETs.

PMOSFETs were studied on the effect of Hot-Carrier induced drain leakage current (Gate-Induced-Drain-Leakage). The result turned out that change in Vgl(drain voltage where 1pA/$\mu$m of drain leadage current flows) was largest in the Channel-Hot-Hole(CHH) injection condition and next was in dynamic stress and was smallest in electron trapping (Igmax) condition under various stress conditions. It was analyzed that if electron trapping occurrs in the overlap region of gate and drain(G/D), it reduces GIDL current due to increment of flat-band voltage(Vfb) and if CHH is injected, interface states(Nit) were generated and it increases GIDL current due to band-to-defect-tunneling(BTDT). Especially, under dynamic stress it was confirmed that increase in GIDL current will be high when electron injection was small and CHH injection was large. Therefore as applying to real circuit, low drain voltage GIDL(BTDT) was enhaced as large as CHH Region under various operating voltage, and it will affect the reliablity of the circuit.

The effects of off-state bias stress on the characteristics of p-type poly-Si TFT were investigated. To reduce the gate-induced drain leakage (GIDL) current, the off-state bias stress was changed by varying Vgs and Vds. After application of the off-state bias stress, the Vgs causing GIDL current was dramatically increased from 1 to 10 V, and thus, the Vgs margin to turn off the TFT was improved. The on-current and subthreshold swing in the aged TFT was maintained. We performed a technology computer-aided design (TCAD) simulation to describe the aged characteristics. The aged-transfer characteristics were well described by the local charge trapping. The activation energy of the GIDL current was measured for the pristine and aged characteristics. The reduced GIDL current was mainly a thermionic field-emission current.

This work has been measured and analyzed the device degradation of NBTI (Negative Bias Temperature Instability) stress induced the increase of gate-induced-drain-leakage(GIDL) current for p-MOS transistors of gate channel length 0.13 [${\mu}m$]. From the relation between the variation of threshold voltage and subthreshold slop by NBTI stress, it has been found that the dominant mechanism for device degradation is the interface state generation. From the GIDL measurement results, we confined that the EHP generation in interface state due to NBTI stress led to the increase of GIDL current. As a results, one should take care of the increased GIDL current after NBTI stress in the ultra-thin gate oxide device. Also, the simultaneous consideration of reliability characteristics and dc device performance is highly necessary in the stress parameters of nanoscale CMOS communication circuit design.

A novel self-aligned ESD (Elevated Source Drain) MOSFET structure which can effectively reduce the GIDL (Gate-Induced Drain Leakage) current is proposed and analyzed. The proposed ESD structure is characterized by sidewall spacer and recessed-channel depth which are determined by dry-etching process. Elevation of the Source/Drain extension region is realized so that the low-activation effect caused by low-energy ion implantation can be avoided. Unlike the conventional LDD structures, it is shown that the GIDL current of the ESD structure is suppressed without sacrificing the maximum driving capability. The main reason for the reduction of GIDL current Is the decreased electric field at the point of the maximum band-to-band tunneling as the peak electric field is shifted toward the drain side.

A capacitorless one transistor dynamic random access memory (1T-DRAM) on silicon-germanium-on-insulator substrate was investigated. SGOI technology can make high effective mobility because of lattice mismatch between the Si channel and the SiGe buffer layer. To evaluate memory characteristics of 1T-DRAM, the floating body effect is generated by impact ionization (II) and gate induced drain leakage (GIDL) current. Compared with use of impact ionization current, the use of GIDL current leads to low power consumption and larger sense margin.

This paper explores 28 nm MOSFET design for LSTP(Low Standby Power) applications using TCAD(Technology Computer Aided Design) simulation. Simulated results show that the leakage current of the MOSFET is increasingly dominated by GIDL(Gate Induced Drain Leakage) instead of a subthreshold leakage as the Source/Drain extension doping increases. The GIDL current can be reduced by grading lateral abruptness of the drain at the expense of a higher Source/Drain series resistance. For 28 nm MOSFET suggested in ITRS, we have shown Source/Drain design becomes even more critical to meet both leakage current and performance requirement.
