본 논문에서는 일반적인 실리콘 기반 n-MOSFET(n-type Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor)의 절연 산화막 계면에서 방사선으로부터 유발되는 누설전류 경로를 차단하기 위하여 I형 게이트 n-MOSEFT 구조를 제안하였다. I형 게이트 n-MOSFET 구조는 상용 0.18um CMOS(Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) 공정에서 레이아웃 변형 기법을 이용하여 설계되었으며, ELT(Enclosed Layout Transistor)와 DGA(Dummy Gate-Assisted) n-MOSFET와 같은 레이아웃 변형 기법을 사용한 기존 내방사선 전자소자의 구조적 단점을 개선하였다. 따라서, 기존 구조와 비교하여 반도체 칩 제작에서 회로 설계의 확장성을 확보할 수 있다. 또한, 내방사선 특성 검증을 위하여 TCAD 3D(Technology Computer Aided Design 3-dimension) tool을 사용하여 모델링과 모의실험을 수행하였고, 그 결과 I형 게이트 n-MOSFET 구조의 내방사선 특성을 확인하였다.

In this paper we proposed a new source-drain structure for N-type MOSFET which can suppress the output resistance reduction of a device in saturation region due to soft break down leakage at high drain voltage when the gate is biased around relatively low voltage. When a device is generally used as a switch at high gate bias the current level is very important for the operation. but in electronic circuit like an amplifier we should mainly consider the output resistance for the stable voltage gain and the operation at low gate bias. Hence with T-SUPREM simulator we designed devices that operate at low gate bias and high gate bias respectively without a extra photo mask layer and ion-implantation steps. As a result the soft break down leakage due to impact ionization is reduced remarkably and the output resistance increases about 3 times in the device that operates at the low gate bias. Also it is expected that electronic circuit designers can easily design a circuit using the offered N-type MOSFET device with the better output resistance.

Cobalt silicidation at sidewall spacer edge of Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors (MOSFETs) with post annealing treatment for capacitor forming process has been investigated as a function of dopant species. Cobalt silicidation of nMOSFET with n-type Lightly Doped Drain (LDD) and pMOSFET with p-type LDD produces a well-developed cobalt silicide with its lateral growth underneath the sidewall spacer. In case of pMOSFET with n-type LDD, however, a void is formed at the sidewall spacer edge with no lateral growth of cobalt silicide. The void formation seems to be due to a retarded silicidation process at the LDD region during the first Rapid Thermal Annealing (RTA) for the reaction of Co with Si, resulting in cobalt mono silicide at the LDD region. The subsequent second RTA converts the cobalt monosilicide into cobalt disilicide with the consumption of Si atoms from the Si substrate, producing the void at the sidewall spacer edge in the Si region. The void formed at the sidewall spacer edge serves as a resistance in the current-voltage characteristics of the pMOSFET device.

In order to harvest power in an efficient manner from a micro piezoelectric (PZT) device for charging the battery of a remote system, a new AC/DC resonant pulse power converter is proposed. The proposed power converter has two stages in the power conversion process. The first stage includes N-type MOSFET full bridge rectifier. The second stage includes a boost converter having an N-type MOSFET and a P-type MOSFET. MOSFETs work in the $1^{st}$ or $3^{rd}$ quadrant region. A small inductor for the boost converter is assigned in order to make the size of the power converter as small as possible, which makes the on-interval of the MOSFET switch of the boost converter ultimately short. Due to this short on-interval, the parasitic junction capacitances of MOSFETs affect the performance of the power converter system. In this paper, the performance of the new converter is analytically and experimentally evaluated with consideration of the parasitic capacitance of switching devices.

An analytical threshold voltage model is proposed to analyze the threshold voltage roll-off and drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL) for a junction-based double-gate (JBDG) MOSFET and a junction-less double-gate (JLDG) MOSFET. We used the series-type potential distribution function derived from the Poisson equation, and observed that it is sufficient to use n=1 due to the drastic decrease in eigenvalues when increasing the n of the series-type potential function. The threshold voltage derived from this threshold voltage model was in good agreement with the result of TCAD simulation. The threshold voltage roll-off of the JBDG MOSFET was about 57% better than that of the JLDG MOSFET for a channel length of 25 nm, channel thickness of 10 nm, and oxide thickness of 2 nm. The DIBL of the JBDG MOSFET was about 12% better than that of the JLDG MOSFET, at a gate metal work-function of 5 eV. It was also found that decreasing the work-function of the gate metal significantly reduces the DIBL.

We analyzed the effects of the interface trap on the output characteristics of an inversion mode n-channel GaN Schottky barrier (SB)-MOSFET based on the N_it distribution using TCAD simulation. As interface trap number density (N_it) increased, the threshold voltage increased while the drain current density decreased. Under N_it=5.0×10¹⁰ cm^-2 condition, the threshold voltage was 3.2 V for V_DS=1 V, and the drain current density reduced to 2.4 mA/mm relative to the non-trap condition. Regardless of the N_it distribution type, there was an increase in the subthreshold swing (SS) following an increase in N_it. Under U-shaped N_it distribution, it was confirmed that the SS varied depending on the gate voltage. The interface fixed charge (Q_f) caused an shift in the threshold voltage and increased the off-state current collectively with the surface trap. In summary, GaN SB-MOSFET can be a building block for high power UV optoelectronic circuit provided the surface state is significantly reduced.

Carbon-nanotube metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (CN-MOSFET) is a promising future device candidate. The electrical characteristics of 16 nm N-type CN-MOSFETs are explored in this paper. The optimum N-type CN-MOSFET device profiles with different number of tubes are identified for achieving the highest on-state to off-state current ratio ($I_{on}/I_{off}$). The influence of substrate voltage on device performance is also investigated in this paper. Tradeoffs between subthreshold leakage current and overall switch quality are evaluated with different substrate bias voltages. Technology development guidelines for achieving high-speed, low-leakage, area efficient, and manufacturable carbon nanotube integrated circuits are provided.

SOI(Silicon-On-Insulator) MOSFET의 전기적 특성에 미치는 게이트 산화막과 계면준위 밀도의 관계를 조사하였다. 결함이 발생하지 않는 얕은 소스/드레인 접합을 형성하기 위하여 급속열처리를 이용한 고상확산방법으로 제작한 SOI MOSFET 소자는 급속열처리 과정에서 계면준위가 증가하여 소자의 특성이 열화된다. 이를 개선하기 위하여 $H_2/N_2$ 분위기에서 후속 열처리 공정을 함으로써 소자의 특성이 향상됨을 볼 수 있었다. 이와같이 급속열처리 공정과 $H_2/H_2$ 분위기에서의 후속 열처리 공정이 소자 특성에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위하여 소자 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 게이트 산화막과 채널 사이의 계면준위 밀도를 분석하였다. 그 결과, n-MOSFET의 경우에는 acceptor-type trap, p-MOSFET의 경우에는 donor-type trap density가 소자특성에 큰 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다.

This paper was proposed floating island power MOSFET for lowering on state resistance and the proposed device was maintained 600 V breakdown voltage. The electrical field distribution of floating island power MOSFET was dispersed to floating island between P-base and N-drift. Therefore, we designed higher doping concentration of drift region than doping concentration of planar type power MOSFET. And so we obtain the lower on resistance than on resistance of planar type power MOSFET. We needed the higher doping concentration of floating island than doping concentration of drift region and needed width and depth of floating island for formation of floating island region. We obtained the optimal parameters. The depth of floating island was $32{\mu}m$. The doping concentration of floating island was $5{\times}1,012cm^2$. And the width of floating island was $3{\mu}m$. As a result of designing the floating island power MOSFET, we obtained 723 V breakdown voltage and $0.108{\Omega}cm^2$ on resistance. When we compared to planar power MOSFET, the on resistance was lowered 24.5% than its of planar power MOSFET. The proposed device will be used to electrical vehicle and renewable industry.
