This paper aims to develop a low gate source voltage ($V_{gs}$) N-LDMOS element that is fully operational at a CMOS Logic Gate voltage (3.3 or 5 V) realized using the 0.35 μm BCDMOS process. The basic structure of the N-LDMOS element presented here has a Low $V_{gs}$ LDMOS structure to which the thickness of a logic gate oxide is applied. Additional modification has been carried out in order to obtain features of an improved breakdown voltage and a specific on resistance ($R_{sp}$). A N-LDMOS element can be developed with improved features of breakdown voltage and specific on resistance, which is an important criterion for power elements by means of using a proper structure and appropriate process modification. In this paper, the structure has been made to withstand the excessive electrical field on the drain side by applying the double gate oxide structure to the channel area, to improve the specific on resistance in addition to providing a sufficient breakdown voltage margin. It is shown that the resulting modified N-LDMOS structure with the feature of the specific on resistance is improved by 31%, and so it is expected that optimized power efficiencies and the size-effectiveness can be obtained.

This paper introduces a new method regarding deuterium incorporation in the gate dielectric including deuterium implantation and post-annealing at the back-end-of-the process line. The control device and the deuterium furnace-annealed device were also prepared for comparison with the implanted device. It was observed that deuterium implantation at a light dose of $1{\times}10^{12}-1{\times}10^{14}/cm^2$ at 30 keV reduced hot-carrier injection (HCI) degradation and negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) within our device structure due to the reduction in oxide charge and interface trap. Deuterium implantation provides a possible solution to enhance the bulk and interface reliabilities of the gate oxide under the electrical stress.

We fabricate and characterize top gate Graphene transistor using aluminum oxide as a gate insulator by atomic layer deposition (ALD). It is found that due to absence of functional group and dangling bonds, ALD of metal oxide is difficult on Graphene. Here we used 4-mercaptopheneol as a functionalization layer on Graphene to facilitate uniform oxide coverage. Contact angle measurement and Atomic force microscopy were used to confirm uniform oxide coverage on Graphene. Raman spectroscopy revealed that functionalization with 4-mercaptopheneol does not induce any defect peak on Graphene. Our device shows mobility values of 4,000 $cm^2/Vs$ at room temperature which also suggest top gate stack does not significantly increase scattering. The noncovalent functionalization method is non-destructive and can be used to grow ultra-thin dielectric for future Graphene applications.

비대칭 이중게이트 MOSFET의 전위분포에 대하여 고찰하였으며 이를 위하여 포아송방정식의 해석학적 해를 구하였다. 대칭 DGMOSFET는 3단자 소자로서 상하단의 게이트단자가 상호 연결되어 있어 상하단 동일한 제어능력을 가지고 있으나 비대칭 DGMOSFET 소자는 4단자 소자로서 상하단 게이트단자의 전류제어능력을 각각 설정할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 전위분포를 구할 때 포아송방정식을 이용하였으며 도핑분포함수에 가우시안 함수를 적용함으로써 보다 실험값에 근사하게 해석하였다. 비대칭 이중게이트 MOSFET의 게이트 단자전압 및 게이트 산화막 두께 그리고 채널도핑의 변화에 따라 전위분포의 변화를 관찰하였다. 비대칭 DGMOSFET의 전위분포를 관찰한 결과, 게이트단자 전압 및 게이트 산화막 두께 등에 따라 전위분포는 크게 변화하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 특히 게이트 산화막 두께가 증가하는 단자에서 전위분포의 변화가 더욱 크게 나타나고 있었으며 채널도핑이 증가하면 드레인 측보다 소스 측 전위분포가 크게 변화하는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Zinc oxide (ZnO) bottom-contact thin-film transistors (TFTs) were prepared by the use of injector type atomic layer deposition. Two hybrid gate oxide systems of different polarity polymers with silicon oxide were examined with the aim of improving the properties of the transistors. The mobility and threshold voltage of a ZnO TFT with a poly(4-dimethylsilyl styrene) (Si-PS)/silicon oxide hybrid gate dielectric had values of 0.41 $cm^2/Vs$ and 24.4 V, and for polyimide/silicon oxide these values were 0.41 $cm^2/Vs$ and 24.4 V, respectively. The good hysteresis property was obtained with the dielectric of hydrophobicity. The solid output saturation behavior of ZnO TFTs was demonstrated with a $10^6$ on-off ratio.

The development of high voltage Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) have given new device advantage in the areas where they compete with conventional GTO (Gate Turnoff Thyristor) technology. The IGBT combines the advantages of a power MOSFET (Metal-Oxide Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor) and a bipolar power transistor. The change of electrical characteristics for IGBT is mainly coming from the change of characteristics of MOSFET at the input gate and the PNP transistors at the output. The gate oxide structure gives the main influence on the changes in the electrical characteristics affected by environments such as radiation and temperature, etc.. The change of threshold voltage, which is one of the important design parameters, is brought by charge trapping at the gate oxide. In this paper, the electrical characteristics are simulated by SPICE simulation, and the parameters are found to design optimized circuits.

Tungsten poycide has studied gate oxide reliability and dielectric strength charactristics as the composition of gate electrode which applied submicron on CMOS and MOS device for optimizing gate electrode resistivity. The gate oxide reliability has been tested using the TDDB(time dependent dielectric breakdwon) and SCTDDB (stepped current TDDB) and corelation between polysilicon and WSi$_{2}$ layer. iN the case of high intrinsic reliability and good breakdown chracteristics on polysilicon, confirmed that tungsten polycide layer is a better reliabilify properities than polysilicon layer. Also, hole trap is detected on the polysilicon structure meanwhile electron trap is detected on polycide structure. In the case of electron trap, the WSi$_{2}$ layer is larger interface trap genration than polysilicon on large POCL$_{3}$ doping time and high POCL$_{3}$ doping temperature condition. WSi$_{2}$ layer's leakage current is less than 1 order and dielectric strength is a larger than 2MV/cm.

A breakdown model of gate oxides under constant current stresses is proposed. This model directly relates the oxide lifetime to the stress current density, and includes statistical nature of oxide breakdown using the concept of "effective oxide thinning". It is shown tha this model can reliably predict the TDDB characteristics for any current stress levels and oxide areas.
