In this paper, we propose the new detecting method for three dimensional piezoresistive silicon accelerometer. Furthermore the accelerometer is formed to have endurance for high temperature by perfect isolation of the piezoresistors using Silicon On Insulator(SOI) wafer. Sensor size are optimized with analytical formulae and extended with FEM simulation for the more detailed results. The accelerometer was fabricated by bulk micromachining techonology. We measured the temperature characteristics and the output characteristics, and the both characteristics were compared with the simulated results

SOI-like-bulk CMOS device is proposed, which having the advantages of SOI(Silicon On Insulator) and protects short channel effects efficiently with adding partial epitaxial process at standard CMOS process. SOI-like-bulk NMOS and PMOS with 0.25${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ gate length have designed and optimized through analyzing the characteristics of these devices and applying again to the design of processes. The threshold voltages of the designed NMOS and PMOS are 0.3[V], -0.35[V] respectively and those have shown the stable characteristics under 1.5[V] gate and drain voltages. The leakage current of typical bulk-CMOS increase with shortening the channel length, but the proposed structures on this a study reduce the leakage current and improve the subthreshold characteristics at the same time. In addition, subthreshold swing value, S is 70.91[mV/decade] in SOI-like-bulk NMOS and 63.37[mV/ decade] SOI-like-bulk PMOS. And the characteristics of SOI-like-bulk CMOS are better than those of standard bulk CMOS. To validate the circuit application, CMOS inverter circuit has designed and transient & DC transfer characteristics are analyzed with mixed mode simulation.

The plasma surface treatment, using hydrogen gas, of the silicon wafer was investigated as a pretreatment for the application to silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafers using the silicon direct bonding technique. The chemical reactions of hydrogen plasma with surfaces were used for both the surface activation and the removal of surface contaminants. As a result of exposure of silicon wafer to the plasma, an active oxide layer was formed on the surface, which was rendered hydrophilic. The surface roughness and morphology were estimated as functions of plasma exposing time as well as of power. The surface became smoother with decreased incident hydrogen ion flux by reducing plasma exposing time and power. This process was very effective to reduce the carbon contaminants on the silicon surface, which was responsible for a high initial surface energy. The initial surface energy measured by the crack propagation method was 506 mJ/m2, which was up to about three times higher than that of a conventional RCA cleaning method.

An SOI(Silicon-On-Insulator) LD(Lateral Double-diffused)MOS with a recessed source structure is proposed to improve the on-resistance and the breakdown voltage. The recessed source structure can decrease the on-resistance by reducing the path of electron current, also increase the breakdown voltage by extending the effective length of gate field plate. Simulation results by TSUPREM4 and MEDICI have shown that the on-resistance of the LDMOS with a recessed source was 26% lower than conventional LDMOS. The breakdown voltage of proposed device was found to be 45V while that of conventional device was 36.5 V. At the same breakdown voltage of 36.5V, the on-resistance of the LDMOS with a recessed source was 41% lower than that of conventional structure.

Capacitorless one transistor dynamic random access memory (1T-DRAM) cells were fabricated on the fully depleted strained-silicon-on-insulator (FD sSOI) and the effects of silicon back interface state on buried oxide (BOX) layer on the memory properties were evaluated. As a result, the fabricated 1T-DRAM cells showed superior electrical characteristics and a large sensing current margin (${\Delta}I_s$) between "1" state and "0" state. The back interface of SOI based capacitorless 1T-DRAM memory cell plays an important role on the memory performance. As the back interface properties were degraded by increase rapid thermal annealing (RTA) process, the performance of 1T-DRAM was also degraded. On the other hand, the properties of back interface and the performance of 1T-DRAM were considerably improved by post RTA annealing process at $450^{\circ}C$ for 30 min in a 2% $H_2/N_2$ ambient.

기존의 웨이퍼 박막속에 절연박막이 삽입된 SOI(Silicon On Insulator) 웨이퍼 구조와 관련한 반도체 기판 재료가 커다른 관심을 끌어 왔으나, SOI 평가기술은 아직까지 체계적으로 확립된 것이 없으며, DLTS(Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy) 등을 이용한 전기적 평가는 거의 이루어지지 않은 상태이다. 본 연구에서는 직접접합된 웨이퍼를 약 10um내외의 활성화층을 형성시킨 6인치 P-형 SOI 웨이퍼를 제작하여 DLTS로 측정, 평가를 하였고, DLTS 측정후 관찰될 수 있는 에어지 트랩(Energy Trap)과 후속 열처리에서의 트랩의 변화등을 관찰하여, 후속 열처리조건에 따른 접합된 SOI 웨이퍼 계면의 안정화된 조건을 확보하였다.

현재 게이트 길이가 100nm 이하의 MOSFET 소자를 구현할 때 가장 대두되는 문제인 short channel effect를 억제하는 방법으로 제안된 소자 중 하나가 double gate (DG) silicon-on-insulator (SOI) MOSFET이다. 그러나 DG SOI MOSFET는 두 게이트간의 align과 threshold voltage control 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서는 DG SOI MOSFET에서 이상적으로 게이트가 align된 구조와 back 게이트가 front 게이트보다 긴 non-align된 구조가 subthreshold 동작 영역에서 impact ionization에 미치는 영향에 대해 시뮬레이션을 통하여 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과 게이트가 이상적으로 align된 구조보다 back 게이트가 front 게이트보다 긴 non-align된 구조가 게이트와 드레인이 overlap된 영역에서 impact ionization이 증가하였으며 게이트가 각각 n+ 폴리실리콘과 p+ 폴리실리콘을 가진 소자에서 두 게이트가 같은 work function을 가진 소자보다 높은 impact generation rate을 가짐을 알 수 있었다.

The negative curvature effect on the breakdown voltage of p-n junction, which may realize 1-D breakdown voltage due to the lower peak electric field at the junction, is proposed and verified by the fabrication of lateral diode on Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) together with MEDICI simulation. The experimental and simulation results show good agreements with the theoretical expectation. The proposed method is effectively applicable to the lateral, especially on SOI, power devices.

In this paper, we present simulation results obtained using SILVACO TCAD tools for a 3-D silicon on insulator (SOI) n-FinFET structure with a gate length of 8 nm at 300K. The effects of variations of the device’s key electrical parameters, such as threshold voltage, subthreshold slope, transconductance, drain induced barrier lowering, oncurrent, leakage current and on/off current ratio are presented and analyzed. We will also describe some simulation results related to the influence of the gate work function variations on the considered structure. These variations have a direct impact on the electrical device characteristics. The results show that the threshold voltage decreases when we reduce the gate metal work function Φ_m. As a consequence, the behavior of the leakage current improves with increased Φ_m. Therefore, the short channel effects in real 3-D FinFET structures can reasonably be controlled and improved by proper adjustment of the gate metal work function.
