For high performance transistor in the 0.14um generation, high speed sram is using a weak region of SCE(Short Channel Effect). It causes serious SCE problem (Vth Roll-Off and Punch-Through etc). This paper shows improvement of Vth roll-off and Ion/Ioff characteristics through high concentration Pocket implant, LDD(Light Dopped Dram) and low energy Implant to reduce S/D Extension resistance. We achieve stabilized Vth and Improved transistor Ion/Ioff performance of 10%.

Recently, as the down-scailing of field-effect transistor devices continues, Schottky-barrier field-effect transistors (SB-FETs) have attracted much attention as an alternative to conventional MOSFETs. SB-FETs have advantages over conventional devices, such as low parasitic source/drain resistance due to their metallic characteristics, low temperature processing for source/drain formation and physical scalability to the sub-10nm regime. The good scalability of SB-FETs is due to their metallic characteristics of source/drain, which leads to the low resistance and the atomically abrupt junctions at metal (silicide)-silicon interface. Nevertheless, some reports show that SB-FETs suffer from short channel effect (SCE) that would cause severe problems in the sub 20nm regime.[Ouyang et al. IEEE Trans. Electron Devices 53, 8, 1732 (2007)] Because source/drain barriers induce a depletion region, it is possible that the barriers are overlapped in short channel SB-FETs. In order to analyze the SCE of SB-FETs, we carried out systematic studies on the Schottky barrier overlapping in short channel SB-FETs using a SILVACO ATLAS numerical simulator. We have investigated the variation of surface channel band profiles depending on the doping, barrier height and the effective channel length using 2D simulation. Because the source/drain depletion regions start to be overlapped each other in the condition of the $L_{ch}$~80nm with $N_D{\sim}1\times10^{18}cm^{-3}$ and $\phi_{Bn}$ $\approx$ 0.6eV, the band profile varies as the decrease of effective channel length $L_{ch}$. With the $L_{ch}$~80nm as a starting point, the built-in potential of source/drain schottky contacts gradually decreases as the decrease of $L_{ch}$, then the conduction and valence band edges are consequently flattened at $L_{ch}$~5nm. These results may allow us to understand the performance related interdependent parameters in nanoscale SB-FETs such as channel length, the barrier height and channel doping.

The bulk-planer MOSFET has a scaling limitation due to the short channel effect (SCE). The Double-Gate MOSFET (DG-MOSFET) is a next generation device for nanoscale with excellent control of SCE. The quantum effect in lateral direction is important for subthreshold characteristics when the effective channel length of DG-MOSFET is less than 10nm, Also, ballistic transport is setting important. This study shows modeling and design issues of nanoscale DG-MOSFET considering the 2D quantum effect and ballistic transport. We have optimized device characteristics of DG-MOSFET using a proper value of $t_{si}$ underlap and lateral doping gradient.

0.2${\mu}m$ 이하의 최소 선폭을 가지는 소자를 구현할 때 drain induced barrier lowering (DIBL)이나 hot electron effect와 같은 short channel effect (SCE)가 나타나며 이로 인하여 소자의 신뢰성이 악화되기도 한다. 이를 개선하기 위한 방법 중 하나가 silicon selective epitaxial growth (SEG)를 이용한 elevated source/drain (ESD) 구조이다. 본 연 구에서는 silicon selective epitaxial growth를 이용하여 elevated source/drain 구조를 갖는 MOSFET 소자와 일반적인 MOSFET 구조를 갖는 소자와의 차이를 elevated source/drain의 높이 변화에 따른 전류 전압 특성을 이용하여 비교, 분석하였으며 그 결과 elevated source/drain 구조가 short channel effect를 감소시킴을 확인할 수 있었다.

Three dimensional(3D) Poisson's equation is used to calculate the potential variation for FinFET in the channel to analyze subthreshold current and short channel effect(SCE). The analytical model has been presented to lessen calculating time and understand the relationship of parameters. The accuracy of this model has been verified by the data from 3D numerical device simulator and variation for dimension parameters has been explained. The model has been developed to obtain channel potential of FinFET according to channel doping and to calculate subthreshold current and threshold voltage.

Short channel effects (SCE) of bulk MOSFET with super-steep retrograded channels (SSR), fully-depleted SOI, and double-gate MOSFET have been analyzed using a evanescent-mode analysis. Analytical equations of the characteristics scaling-length (λ) for three structures have been derived and the accuracy of the calculated λ was verified by comparing to the device simulation result. It is found that the minimum channel length should be larger than 5λ and the depletion thickness of the SSR should be around 30 nm in order to be applicable to 70 nm CMOS technology. High-$textsc{k}$ dielectric shows a limitation in scaling due to the drain-field penetration through the dielectric unless the equivalent SiO2 thickness is very thin.

In this paper, the variations of threshold voltage characteristics for ratio of channel length and thickness have been alanyzed for DG(Double Gate)MOSFET having top gate and bottom gate. Since the DGMOSFET has two gates, it has advantages that contollability of gate for current is nearly twice and SCE(Short Channel Effects) shrinks in nano devices. The channel length and thickness in MOSFET determines device size and extensively influences on SCEs. The threshold voltage roll-off, one of the SCEs, is large with decreasing channel length. The threshold voltage roll-off and drain induced barrier lowing have been analyzed with various ratio of channel length and thickness for DGMOSFET in this study.

This paper describes the short-channel effect(SCE), corner effect of nano-scale MuGFETs(Multiple-Gate FETs) by three-dimensional simulation. We can extract the equivalent gate number of MuGFETs(Double-gate=2, Tri-gate=3, Pi-gate=3.14, Omega-gate=3.4, GAA=4) by threshold voltage model. Using the extracted gate number(n) we can calculate the natural length for each gate devices. We established a scaling theory for MuGFETs, which gives a optimization to avoid short channel effects for the device structure(silicon thickness, gate oxide thickness). It is observed that the comer effects decrease with the reduction of doping concentration and gate oxide thickness when the radius of curvature is larger than 17 % of the channel width.

We design and analyze the n-channel junctionless fin-shaped field-effect transistor (JL FinFET) with 10-nm gate length and compare its performances with those of the conventional bulk-type fin-shaped FET (conventional bulk FinFET). A three-dimensional (3-D) device simulations were performed to optimize the device design parameters including the width ($W_{fin}$) and height ($H_{fin}$) of the fin as well as the channel doping concentration ($N_{ch}$). Based on the design optimization, the two devices were compared in terms of direct-current (DC) and radio-frequency (RF) characteristics. The results reveal that the JL FinFET has better subthreshold swing, and more effectively suppresses short-channel effects (SCEs) than the conventional bulk FinFET.
