In this study, the effects of $WSi_x$, thickness and fluorine concentration in tungsten polycide gate structure on gate oxide were investigated. As $WSi_x$, thickness increases, gate oxide thickness increases with fluorine incorporation in gate oxide, and time-to-breakdown($T_{BD,50%}$) of oxide decreases. The stress change with $WSi_x$ thickness was also examined. But it is understood that the dominant factor to degrade gate oxide properties is not the stress but the fluorine, incorporated during $WSi_x$ deposition, diffused into $WSiO_2$ after heat treatment. In order to understand the effect of fluorine diffusion into oxidem fluorine ion implanted gates were compared. The thickness variation and $T_{BD,50%}$ of gate oxide is saturated over 600 $\AA$ thickness of $WSi_x$. The TEM and SIMS studies show the microstructure less than 600 $\AA$ thickness is dense and flat in surface. However, over 600$\AA$, the microstructure of $WSi_x$ is divided into two parts: upper porous phase with rugged surface and lower dense phase with smmoth interface. And this upper phase is transformed into oxygen rich crystalline phase after annealing, and the fluorine is captured in this layer. Therefore, the fluorine diffusion into the gate oxide is saturated.

To analyze the phenomenon of drain induced barrier lowering(DIBL) for top and bottom gate oxide thickness of asymmetric double gate MOSFET, the deviation of threshold voltage is investigated for drain voltage to have an effect on barrier height. The asymmetric double gate MOSFET has the characteristic to be able to fabricate differently top and bottom gate oxide thickness. DIBL is, therefore, analyzed for the change of top and bottom gate oxide thickness in this study, using the analytical potential distribution derived from Poisson equation. As a results, DIBL is greatly influenced by top and bottom gate oxide thickness. DIBL is linearly decreased in case top and bottom gate oxide thickness become smaller. The relation of channel length and DIBL is nonlinear. Top gate oxide thickness more influenced on DIBL than bottom gate oxide thickness in the case of high doping concentration in channel.

The effects of oxide thickness and gate length of MgO/GaN metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) on I-V, threshold voltage and breakdown voltage characteristics were examined using a drift-diffusion model. The saturation drain current scales in an inverse logarithmic fashion with MgO thickness and is < 10$^{-3}$ A.${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$$^{-1}$ for 0.5 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ gate length devices with oxide thickness > 600 $\AA$ or for all 1 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ gate length MOSFETs with oxide thickness in the range of >200 $\AA$. Gate breakdown voltage is > 100 V for gate length >0.5 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and MgO thickness > 600 $\AA$. The threshold voltage scales linearly with oxide thickness and is < 2 V for oxide thickness < 800 $\AA$ and gate lengths < 0.6 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The GaN MOSFET shows excellent potential for elevated temperature, high speed applications.

This paper has presented the change of subthreshold swings for gate oxide thickness of asymmetric double gate(DG) MOSFET, and solved Poisson equation to obtain the analytical solution of potential distribution. The symmetric DGMOSFET is three terminal device. Meanwhile the asymmetric DGMOSFET is four terminal device and can separately determine the bias voltage and oxide thickness for top and bottom gates. As a result to observe the subthreshold swings for the change of top and bottom gate oxide thickness, we know the subthreshold swings are greatly changed for gate oxide thickness. Especially we know the subthreshold swings are increasing with the increase of top and bottom gate oxide thickness, and top gate oxide thickness greatly influences subthreshold swings.

This paper has analyzed the change of threshold voltage for oxide structure of symmetric and asymmetric double gate(DG) MOSFET. The asymmetric DGMOSFET can be fabricated with different top and bottom gate oxide thickness, while the symmetric DGMOSFET has the same top and bottom gate oxide thickness. Therefore optimum threshold voltage is considered for top and bottom gate oxide thickness of asymmetric DGMOSFET, compared with the threshold voltage of symmetric DGMOSFET. To obtain the threshold voltage, the analytical potential distribution is derived from Possion's equation, and Gaussian distribution function is used as doping profile. We investigate for bottom gate voltage, channel length and thickness, and doping concentration how top and bottom gate oxide thickness influences on threshold voltage using this threshold voltage model. As a result, threshold voltage is greatly changed for oxide thickness, and we know the changing trend greatly differs with bottom gate voltage, channel length and thickness, and doping concentration.

Junctionless amorphous InGaZnO thin film transistors with different film thickness have been fabricated. Their device performance parameters were extracted and gate oxide breakdown voltages were analyzed with different film thickness. The device performances were enhanced with increase of film thickness but the gate oxide breakdown voltages were decreased. The device performances were enhanced with increase of temperatures but the gate oxide breakdown voltages were decreased due to the increased drain current. The drain current under illumination was increased due to photo-excited electron-hole pair generation but the gate oxide breakdown voltages were decreased. The reason for decreased breakdown voltage with increase of film thickness, operation temperature and light intensity was due to the increased number of channel electrons and more injection into the gate oxide layer. One should decide the gate oxide thickness with considering the film thickness and operating temperature when one decides to replace the junctionless amorphous InGaZnO thin film transistors as BEOL transistors.

The threshold voltage roll-off for an asymmetric junctionless double gate MOSFET is analyzed according to the top and bottom gate oxide thicknesses. In the asymmetric structure, the top and bottom gate oxide thicknesses can be made differently, so that the top and bottom oxide thicknesses can be adjusted to reduce the leakage current that may occur in the top gate while keeping the threshold voltage roll-off constant. An analytical threshold voltage model is presented, and this model is in good agreement with the 2D simulation value. As a result, if the thickness of the bottom gate oxide film is decreased while maintaining a constant threshold voltage roll-off, the top gate oxide film thickness can be increased, and the leakage current that may occur in the top gate can be reduced. Especially, it is observed that the increase of the bottom gate oxide thickness does not affect the threshold voltage roll-off.
