We studied about the effect of newly developed etchant for spacer etch process in gate patterning. With the 110nm CMOS technology, first, we changed the gate pattern size and investigated the variation of spacer etch profile according to the difference in gate length. Second, thickness of spacer nitride was changed and effect of etch ant on difference in nitride thickness was observed. In addition to these, spacer etch power was added as test item for variation of etch profile. We investigated the etch profiles with SEM and TEM analysis was used for plasma damage check. With these results we could check the process margins for gate patterning which could hold best performance and choose the condition for best spacer etch profile.

Analyzing electrical degradation of polycrystalline silicon transistor to applicable at several environment is very important issue. In this research, after fabricating p channel poly crystalline silicon TFT (thin film transistor) electrical characteristics were compare and analized that changed by gate bias with first measurement. As a result on and off current was reduced by variation of gate bias and especially re duce ratio of off current was reduced by $7.1{\times}10^1$. On/off current ratio, threshold voltage and electron mobility increased. Also, when channel length gets shorter on/off current ratio was increased more and thresh old voltage increased less. It was cause due to electron trap and de-trap to gate silicon oxide by variation of gate bias.

We have developed GaAs power metal semiconductor field effect transistors (MESFETs) for 4.7V operation under 900 MHz using a low-high deped structures grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The fabricted MESFETs with a gate widty of 7.5 mm and a gate length of 1.0.mu.m show a saturated drain current (Idss) of 1.7A and an uniform transconductance (Gm) of around 600mS, for gate bias ranged from -2.4 V to 0.5 V. The gate-drain breakdown voltage is measured to be higher than 25 V. The measured rf characteristics of the MESFETs at a frequency of 900 MHz are the output power of 31.4 dBm and the power added efficiency of 63% at a drain bias of 4.7 V.

In this Paper, we present a scaling theory for dual material surrounding gate (DMSGTs) MOSFETs, which gives a guidance for the device design and maintaining a precise subthreshold factor for given device parameters. By studying the subthreshold conducting phenomenon of DMSGTs, the effective conductive path effect (ECPE) is employed to acquire the natural length to guide the design. With ECPE, the minimum channel potential is used to monitor the subthreshold behavior. The effect of ECPE on scaling factor significantly improves the subthreshold swing compared to conventional scaling rule. This proposed model offers the basic designing guidance for dual material surrounding gate MOSFETs.

A continuous, explicit drain-current equation for short-channel double-gate (DG) MOSFETs has been derived based on the explicit surface potential equation. The model is physically derived from Poisson's equation in each region of operation and adopted in the unified regional approach. The proposed model has been verified with numerical solutions, physically scalable with channel length and gate/oxide materials as well as oxide/channel thicknesses.

We report the results of extensive mixed mode simulations and theoretical analysis to quantify the contribution of the edge direct tunneling (EDT) current on the total gate leakage current of 80nm NMOSFET with SiO2 gate dielectric. It is shown that EDT has a profound impact on basic analog circuit building blocks such as sample-hold (S/H) circuit and the current mirror circuit. A transistor design methodology with zero gate-source/drain overlap is proposed to mitigate the EDT effect. This results in lower voltage droop in S/H application and better current matching in current mirror application. It is demonstrated that decreasing the overlap length also improves the basic analog circuit performance metrics of the transistor. The transistor with zero gate-source/drain overlap, results in better transconductance, input resistance, output resistance, intrinsic gain and unity gain transition frequency.

This paper puts forward an advanced consideration on the design of scaled multiple-gate FET (MuGFET); the aspect ratio ($R_{h/w}$) of the fin height (h) to fin width (w) of MuGFET is considered with the aid of 3-D device simulations. Since any change in the aspect ratio must consider the trade-off between drivability and short-channel effects, it is shown that optimization of the aspect ratio is essential in designing MuGFET's. It is clearly seen that the triple-gate (TG) FET is superior to the conventional FinFET from the viewpoints of drivability and short-channel effects as was to be expected. It can be concluded that the guideline of w < L/3, where L is the channel length, is essential to suppress the short-channel effects of TG-FET.

As the development of semiconductor process technology continue to advance, ICs continue their trend toward higher performance low power system-on-chip (SOC). These circuits require on board multi power supply. In this paper, a 0.5 ㎛ dual date oxide CMOS Process technology for multi-power application is demonstrated. 5 V and 20 V devices fabricated by proposed process is measured. From 5 V devices using dual gate precess, we got almost the same characteristics as are obtained from standard 5 V devices. And the characteristics of the 20 V device demonstrates that 3 ㎛ devices with minimum gate length are available without reliability degradation. Electrical parameters in minimum 3 ㎛ devices are 520 ㎂/㎛ current density, 120 ㎷ DIBL, 24 V BV for NMOS and ,350 ㎂/㎛ current density, 180 ㎷ DIBL, 26 V BV for PMOS, respectively.

In this paper, under pinch-off conditions, the gate-drain breakdown voltage characteristics of GaAs Power MESFET's as a function of device parameters such as channel thickness, doping concentration, gate length etc. are analyzed. Using the Green's function, the gate ionic charge induced by the depleted channel ionic charge is calculated. The impact ionization integral by avalanche multiplication between gate and drain is used to investigate breakdown phenomena. Especially, the localized excess surface charge effect as well as the uniform surface charge effect on breakdown voltage is considered.

The sensitivity and sensing margin of SOI(silicon on insulator) nano-wire BioFET(field effect transistor) were investigated by using back-gate bias. The channel conductance modulation was affected by doping concentration, channel length and channel width. In order to obtain high sensitivity and large sensing margin, low doping concentration, long channel and narrow width are required. We confirmed that the electrical sensing by back-gate bias is effective method for evaluation and optimization of bio-sensor.
