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.

This paper reports the measurement and analysis of the short channel effects and the punchthrough voltage of SOI-MOSFET with a self-aligned ground plane electrode in the silicon mechanical substrate underneath the buried oxide. When the channel length is reduced below 0.2${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ it is observed that the threshold voltage roll-off and the subthreshold swing with channel length are reduced and DIBL is improved more significantly in GP-SOI devices than FD-SOI devices. It is also observed from the dependence of threshold voltage with substrate biases that the body factor is a higher in GP-SOI devices than FD-SOI devices. From the measurement results of punchthrough voltage, GP-SOI devices show the higher punchthrough voltages than FD-SOI devices

The device performances of n-channel MuGFET with different fin numbers and fin widths but the total effective channel width is constant have been characterized. Two kinds of Pi-gate devices with fin number=16, fin width=55nm, and fin number=14, fin width=80nm have been used in characterization. The threshold voltage, effective electron mobility, threshold voltage roll-off, inverse subthreshold slope, PBTI, hot carrier degradation, and drain breakdown voltage have been characterized. From the measured results, the short channel effects have been reduced for narrow fin width and large fin numbers. PBTI degradation was more significant in devices with large fin number and narrow fin width but hot carrier degradation was similar for both devices. The drain breakdown voltage was higher for devices with narrow fin width and large fin numbers. With considering the short channel effects and device degradation, the devices with narrow fin width and large fin numbers are desirable in the device layout of MuGFETs.

Density gradient method is used to analyze the quantum effect in MOSFET, Quantization effect in the poly gate leads to a negative threshold voltage shift, which is opposed to the positive shift caused by quantization effect in the channel. Quantization effects in the poly gate are investigated using the density gradient method, and the impact on the short channel effect of double gate device is more significant.

In order to prevent the short-channel effects due to threshold voltage adjustment implantation in conventional n+ doped silicon gate process, a new approach involving automatic doping of polycide by boron during source and drain implantation is introduced. P-MOSFET devece fabricated by theis approach shows improved short channel characteristics than conventional device with n+ doped gate. Some concerns of adopting this approach in CMOS technology are addressed togetheer with some suggestions.

In this paper, we investigate the channel thermal noise in nanoscale MOSFETs. Simple analytical model of thermal noise factor in nanoscale MOSFETs is presented and it is verified with accurately measured noise data. The noise factor is expressed in terms of the channel conductance and the electric field in the gradual channel region. The proposed noise model can predict the channel thermal noise behavior in all operating bias regions from the long-channel to nanoscale MOSFETs. From the measurement results, we observed that the thermal noise model for the long-channel MOSFETs does not always underestimate the short-channel thermal noise.

In this paper, we present a compact model of gate-voltage-dependent quantum effects in short-channel surrounding-gate (SG) metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs). We based the model on a two-dimensional (2-D) analytical solution of Poisson's equation using cylindrical coordinates. We used the model to investigate the electrostatic potential and current sensitivities of various gate lengths ($L_g$) and radii (R). Schr$\ddot{o}$dinger's equation was solved analytically for a one-dimensional (1-D) quantum well to include quantum effects in the model. The model takes into account quantum effects in the inversion region of the SG MOSFET using a triangular well. We show that the new model is in excellent agreement with the device simulation results in all regions of operation.

This paper analyzes the influence of tunneling current on threshold voltage shift by channel length of short channel asymmetric double gate(DG) MOSFET. Tunneling current significantly increases by decrease of channel length in the region of 10 nm below, and the secondary effects such as threshold voltage shift occurs. Threshold voltage shift due to tunneling current is not negligible even in case of asymmetric DGMOSFET to develop for reduction of short channel effects. Off current consists of thermionic and tunneling current, and the ratio of tunneling current is increasing with reduction of channel length. The WKB(Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin) approximation is used to obtain tunneling current, and potential distribution in channel is hermeneutically derived. As a result, threshold voltage shift due to tunneling current is greatly occurred for decreasing of channel length in short channel asymmetric DGMOSFET. Threshold voltage is changing according to bottom gate voltages, but threshold voltage shifts is nearly constant.

A Dual metal gate stack cylindrical/ surrounded gate MOSFET (DMGSA CGT/SGT MOSFET) has been proposed and an analytical model has been developed to examine the impact of this structure in suppressing short channel effects and in enhancing the device performance. It is demonstrated that incorporation of gate stack along with dual metal gate architecture results in improvement in short channel immunity. It is also examined that for DMGSA CGT/SGT the minimum surface potential in the channel reduces, resulting increase in electron velocity and thereby improving the carrier transport efficiency. Furthermore, the device has been analyzed at different bias point for both single material gate stack architecture (SMGSA) and dual material gate stack architecture (DMGSA) and found that DMGSA has superior characteristics as compared to SMGSA devices. The analytical results obtained from the proposed model agree well with the simulated results obtained from 3D ATLAS Device simulator.

We have investigated the effects of hydrogen plasma treatment by PECVD (Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) in the back channel region, the method for reducing the off state leakage current which increases with the short channel length of a-Si:H TFTs. To improve the off current characteristics, we analyzed the hydrogen plasma treatment with various RF power and plasma treatment times of PECVD. As the result of hydrogen plasma treatment in the back channel region it was remarkably reduced the off current level of 2um channel length TFT.
