TCAD 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 소스영역으로 오버랩된(overlapped) 게이트를 가진 터널링 전계효과 트랜지스터(Tunnel Field-Effect Transistor; TFET)의 오버랩된 게이트 길이에 따른 터널링 전류 특성을 조사하였다. 터널링은 크게 라인터널링과 포인트 터널링으로 구분되는데, 라인터널링이 포인트터널링보다 subthreshold swing(SS), on-current에서 더 높은 성능을 보인다. 본 논문은 Silicon, Germanium, Si-Ge Hetero TFET구조에서 게이트 길이를 소스영역으로 오버랩될 경우에 포인트 터널링과 라인터널링의 효과를 조사해서 SS와 on-current에 최적합한 구조의 가이드라인을 제시한다.

This paper proposes an efficient method for improving the training performance of the neural network using a hybrid of backpropagation algorithm and dynamic tunneling system.The backpropagation algorithm, which is the fast gradient descent method, is applied for high-speed optimization. The dynamic tunneling system, which is the deterministic method iwth a tunneling phenomenone, is applied for blobal optimization. Converging to the local minima by using the backpropagation algorithm, the approximate initial point for escaping the local minima is estimated by the pattern classification, and the simulation results show that the performance of proposed method is superior th that of backpropagation algorithm with randomized initial point settings.

본 연구에서는 TCAD 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 4가지 터널링 전계효과 트랜지스터(Tunnel Field-Effect Transistors; TFETs) 구조에 따른 특성을 조사하였다. 단일게이트 TFET(SG-TFET), 이중게이트 TFET(DG-TFET), L-shaped TFET(L-TFET), Pocket-TFET(P-TFET)의 4가지 TFET를 유전율과 채널 길이를 변화함에 따라서 드레인 전류-게이트전압 특성을 시뮬레이션해서 문턱전압이하 스윙(Subthreshold Swing; SS)과 구동 전류(On-current)면에서 비교하였다. 고유전율을 가지며 라인 터널링을 이용하는 L-TFET 구조와 P-TFET 구조가 포인트 터널링을 이용하는 SG-TFET와 DG-TFET보다 구동전류면에서 10배 이상 증가하였고, SS면에서 20 mV/dec이상 감소하였다. 특히, 고유전율을 가진 P-TFET의 주 전류 메카니즘이 포인트 터널링에서 라인터널링으로 변화하는 험프현상이 사라지면서 SS가 매우 향상되는 것을 보였다. 4가지 TFET 구조의 분석을 통해 포인트터널링을 줄이고 라인터널링을 강조하는 새로운 TFET 구조의 가이드 라인을 제시한다.

TCAD 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 소스 영역으로 오버랩된(Overlapped) 게이트를 가진 실리콘(Si), 게르마늄(Ge)과 실리콘-게르마늄(Si-Ge) Hetero 터널 전계효과 트랜지스터(Tunnel Field-Effect Transistor; TFET)의 터널링 전류 특성을 분석하였다. $SiO_2$를 산화막으로 사용한 Si-TFET의 경우에 포인트와 라인 터널링이 모두 나타나서 험프(Hump) 현상이 나타난다. Ge-TFET는 구동전류가 Si-TFET보다 높으나 누설전류가 높고 포인트 터널링이 지배적으로 나타난다. Hetero-TFET의 경우에 구동전류가 높게 나타나고 누설전류는 나타나지 않았으나 포인트 터널링이 지배적으로 나타난다. $HfO_2$를 산화막으로 사용한 Si-TFET의 경우에 라인 터널링의 문턱전압(threshold voltage)이 감소하여 라인 터널링만 나타난다. Ge과 Hetero-TFET의 경우에 포인트 터널링의 문턱전압이 감소하여 포인트 터널링에 의해 동작되며 Ge-TFET는 누설전류가 증가하였고, Hetero-TFET에서 Hump가 나타난다.

Unmanned remote survey system is proposed to measure distance and angle of the present position of micro-tunneling machine from any starting point of entrance. Cross type linear LED that can be controlled remotely is attached to the tunneling machine. Range finder and angle measuring devise fixed to internal of the pipe can scan the center of LED. Distance and angle measuring devises are disposed in the measurable position of the pipe, then the present position of tunneling machine can be calculated automatically from the measurements.

The effects of the antisite related defects on the electronic structure of silica and the gate leakage current have been investigated using first-principles calculations. Energy levels related to the antisite defects in silicon dioxide have been introduced into the bandgap, which are nearly 2.0 eV from the top of the valence band. Combining with the electronic structures calculated from first-principles simulations, tunneling currents through the silica layer with antisite defects have been calculated. The tunneling current calculations show that the hole tunneling currents assisted by the antisite defects will be dominant at low oxide field whereas the electron direct tunneling current will be dominant at high oxide field. With increased thickness of the defect layer, the threshold point where the hole tunneling current assisted by antisite defects in silica is equal to the electron direct tunneling current extends to higher oxide field.

This work presents a novel structure for junction-less tunneling field effect transistor (JL-TFET) with a floating gate over the source region. Introduction of floating gate instead of fixed metal gate removes the limitation of fabrication process suitability. The proposed device is based on a heavily n-type-doped Si-channel junction-less field effect transistor (JLFET). A floating gate over source region and a control-gate with optimized metal work-function over channel region is used to make device work like a tunnel field effect transistor (TFET). The proposed device has exhibited excellent ID-VGS characteristics, ION/IOFF ratio, a point subthreshold slope (SS), and average SS for optimized device parameters. Electron charge stored in floating gate, isolation oxide layer and body doping concentration are optimized. The proposed JL-TFET can be a promising candidate for switching performances.

Although the compact capacitance model of point tunneling types of tunneling field-effect transistors (TFET) has been proposed, those of line tunneling types of TFETs have not been reported. In this study, a compact capacitance model of an L-shaped TFET (LTFET), a line tunneling type of TFET, is proposed using the previously developed surface potentials and current models of P- and L-type LTFETs. The Verilog-A LTFET model for simulation program with integrated circuit emphasis (SPICE) was also developed to verify the validation of the compact LTFET model including the capacitance model. The SPICE simulation results using the Verilog-A LTFET were compared to those obtained using a technology computer-aided-design (TCAD) device simulator. The current-voltage characteristics and capacitance-voltage characteristics of N and P-LTFETs were consistent for all operational bias. The voltage transfer characteristics and transient response of the inverter circuit comprising N and P-LTFETs in series were verified with the TCAD mixed-mode simulation results.

This study reports an alternative method for measuring the magnetoresistance of unpatterned magnetic tunnel junctions similar to the current-in-plane tunneling (CIPT) method. Instead of using microprobes, a series of point contacts with different spacings are coated on the top surface of the junctions and R-H loops at various spacings are then measured by the usual four-point probe method. The values of magnetoresistance and resistance-area products can be obtained by fitting the measured data to the CIPT theoretical model. The test results of two types of junctions were highly similar to those obtained from standard CIPT tools. The proposed method may help to accelerate the process for evaluating the quality of magnetic tunnel junctions when commercial CIPT tools are not accessible.
