The effects of electrical positive stress on n-channel LDD and offset structured poly-Si TFT\`s have been systematically investigated in order to analyze the transfer curve\`s shift mechanism. It has been found that the LDD and offset regions behave as a series resistance that reduce the electric field near drain. Hot carrier effects are reduced because of these results. After electrical stress transfer curve’s shift and variation of the off-current are dependent upon the offset length rather than offset region’s doping concentration. Variation of the subthreshold slope is dependent upon offset region’s doping concentration as well as offset length.

We have been investigating InGaAs HEMTs as a future high-speed and low-power logic technology for beyond CMOS applications. In this work, we have experimentally studied the role of the side-recess spacing $(L_{side})$ on the logic performance of 50 nm $In_{0.7}Ga_{0.3}As$ As HEMTs. We have found that $L_{side}$ has a large influence on the electrostatic integrity (or short channel effects), gate leakage current, gate-drain capacitance, and source and drain resistance of the device. For our device design, an optimum value of $L_{side}$ of 150 nm is found. 50 nm $In_{0.7}Ga_{0.3}As$ HEMTs with this value of $L_{side}$ exhibit $I_{ON}/I_{OFF}$ ratios in excess of $10^4$, subthreshold slopes smaller than 90 mV/dec, and logic gate delays of about 1.3 ps at a $V_{CC}$ of 0.5 V. In spite of the fact that these devices are not optimized for logic, these values are comparable to state-of-the-art MOSFETs with similar gate lengths. Our work confirms that in the landscape of alternatives for beyond CMOS technologies, InAs-rich InGaAs FETs hold considerable promise.

The annealing of a Cu(4.5at.% Mg)/$SiO_2$/Si structure in ambient $O_2$, at 10 mTorr, and $300-500^{\circ}C$, allows for the outdiffusion of the Mg to the Cu surface, forming a thin MgO (15 nm) layer on the surface. The surface MgO layer was patterned, and successfully served as a hard mask, for the subsequent dry etching of the underlying Mg-depleted Cu films using an $O_2$ plasma and hexafluoroacetylacetone [H(hfac)] chemistry. The resultant MgO/Cu structure, with a taper slope of about $30^{\circ}C$ shows the feasibility of the dry etching of Cu(Mg) alloy films using a surface MgO mask scheme. A dry-etched Cu(4.5at.% Mg) gate a-Si:H TFT has a field effect mobility of 0.86 $\textrm{cm}^2$/Vs, a subthreshold swing of 1.08 V/dec, and a threshold voltage of 5.7 V. A novel process for the dry etching of Cu(Mg) alloy films, which eliminates the use of a hard mask, such as Ti, and results in a reduction in the process steps is reported for the first time in this work.

The new organic semiconductors which are composed of divinylbenzene core unit and alkoxynaphthalene on both sides, 1,4-bis-2-(6-octyloxy)naphthalen-2-ylvinylbenzene (BONVB), 1,4-bis-2-(6-decyloxy)naphthalen-2-ylvinylbenzene (BDNVB) and 1,4-bis-2-(6-dodecyloxy)naphthalen-2-ylvinylbenzene (BDDNVB) were synthesized by Wittig reaction. The structures of obtained BONVB, BDNVB and BDDNVB were confirmed by FT-IR and mass spectroscopy. UV-absorption of thin film showed H-aggregates and J-aggregates due to closely packed structure between adjacent molecules. The characterization of vacuum-evaporated films by Xray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) showed that the chain length of alkoxy group affects the crystallinity and morphology. BONVB with octyloxy group showed the mobility of $0.011cm^2/V{\cdot}s$, on/off ratio of $1.31{\times}10^5$, and a subthreshold slope of 0.93 V.

The effect of nematic liquid crystal(5CB-4-Cyano-4'-pentylbiphenyl) on the amorphous indium gallium zinc oxide thin film transistors(a-IGZO TFTs) was investigated. Through dropping the 5CB on the a-IGZO TFT's channel layer which is deposited by RF-magnetron sputtering, properties of a-IGZO TFTs was dramatically improved. When drain bias was induced, 5CB molecules were oriented by Freedericksz transition generating positive charges to one side of dipoles. From increment of the capacitance by orientation of liquid crystals, the drain current was increased, and we analyzed these phenomena mathematically by using MOSFET model. Transfer characteristic showed improvement such as decreasing of subthreshold slope(SS) value 0.4 to 0.2 and 0.45 to 0.25 at linear region and saturation region, respectively. Furthermore, in positive bias system(PBS), prevention effect for electron trapping by 5CB liquid crystal dipoles was observed, which showing decrease of threshold voltage shift [(${\delta}V$]_TH) when induced +20V for 1~1000sec at the gate electrode.

Performance of organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) with various temperature-cured polyacrylate(PA) copolymer as a gate insulator was studied. The PA thin film, which was cured at an optimized temperature, showed high dielectric strength (>7 MV/cm), low leakage current density ($5{\times}10^{-9}\;A/cm^2$ at 1 MV/cm) and enabled negligible hysteresis in MIS capacitor and OFET. A field-effect mobility of ${\sim}0.6\;cm^2/V\;s$, on/off current ratio (Ion/Ioff) of ${\sim}10^5$ and inverse subthreshold slope (SS) as low as 1.22 V/decwere achieved. The high dielectric strength made it possible to scale down the thickness of dielectric, and low-voltage operation of -5 V was successfully realized. The chemical changes were monitored by FT-IR. The morphology and microstructure of the pentacene layer grown on PA dielectrics were also investigated and correlated with OFET device performance.

본 논문에서는 strained Silicon-on-Insulator (sSOI) 기판에 제작된 triple-gate MOSFETs 의 이동도와 단채널 효과에 대하여 분석 하였다. Strained 실리콘에 제작된 소자는 전류의 방향이 <110> 밤항일 경우 전자의 이동도는 증가하나 정공의 이동도는 오히려 감소하는 문제점이 있다. 이를 극복하기 위하여 소자에서 전류의 방향이 <110>방향에서 45 도 회전된 <100> 방향으로 흐르게 제작하였다. Strain이 가해지지 않은 기판에 제작된 동일한 구조의 소자와 비교하여 sSOI 에 제작된 소자에서 전자의 이동도는 약 40% 정공의 이동도는 약 50% 증가하였다. 채널 길이가 100 nm 내외로 감소함에 따라 나타나는 drain induced barrier lowering (DIBL) 현상, subthreshold slope (SS)의 증가 현상에서 sSOI에 제작된 소자가 상대적으로 우수한 특성을 보였으며 off-current leakage ($I_{off}$) 특성도 sSOI기판이 더 우수한 특성을 보였다.

최근에 능동 영역 액정 표시 소자(Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Display, AMLCD)에서 고해상도와 빠른 응답속도를 요구하게 되면서부터 다결정 실리콘(poly-Si) 박막 트랜지스터(Thin Film Transistor, TFT)가 쓰이게 되었다. 그리고 일반적으로 디스플레이의 기판을 상대적으로 저가의 유리를 사용하기 때문에 저온 공정이 필수적이다. 따라서 새로운 저온 결정화 방법과 부가적으로 최근 디스플레이 개발 동향 중 하나인 대화면에 적용 가능한 공정인 금속유도 결정화 (Silicide Mediated Crystallization, SMC)가 연구되고 있다. 이 소자는 top-gated coplanar구조로 설계되었다. (그림 1)(100) 실리콘 웨이퍼위에 3000$\AA$의 열산화막을 올리고, LPCVD로 55$0^{\circ}C$에서 비정질 실리콘(a-Si:H) 박막을 550$\AA$ 증착 시켰다. 그리고 시편은 SMC 방법으로 결정화 시켜 TEM(Transmission Electron Microscopy)으로 SMC 다결정 실리콘을 분석하였다. 그 위에 TFT의 게이트 산화막을 열산화막 만큼 우수한 TEOS(Tetraethoxysilane)소스로 사용하여 실리콘 산화막을 1000$\AA$ 형성하였고 게이트는 3000$\AA$ 두께로 몰리브덴을 스퍼터링을 통하여 형성하였다. 이 다결정 실리콘은 3$\times$10^15 cm^-2의 보론(B)을 도핑시켰다. 채널, 소스, 드래인을 정의하기 위해 플라즈마 식각이 이루어 졌으며, 실리콘 산화막과 실리콘 질화막으로 passivation하고, 알루미늄으로 전극을 형성하였다 그리고 마지막에 TFT의 출력특성과 전이특성을 측정함으로써 threshold voltage, the subthreshold slope 와 the field effect mobility를 계산하였다.

We investigated the influence of organic solvents on the droplet properties of 6,13-bis (triisopropylsilylethynyl) pentacene (TIPS-pentacene), which was used for semiconductor of organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) and deposited by ink jet printing. From the result of the investigation, the conditions of a suitable solvent is that boiling point should be above $200^{\circ}C$ to reduce coffee stain and the surface tension above 32 dyn/cm to decrease the droplet size. Consequently, we selected tetralin which have a high boiling point ($207^{\circ}C$) and high surface tension (34.3 dyn/cm) as the solvent for TIPS-pentacene, and applied it to OTFTs. In fabrication process the conventional bank process employing photolithography and etching process was replaced by ink jet printed bank process, resulting in simplifying the process. Especially, polyvinylphenol was used for the bank, and the high hydrophobicity could improve the confinement of TIPS molecules inside the bank, enhancing the performance over the conventional hydrophilic polyvinylalcohol bank. The mobility was $0.18\;cm^2/Vs$, current on/off ratio $2.09{\times}10^5$, subthreshold slope 0.42 V/dec, and off state current $0.049\;pA/{\mu}m$.
