06 Jun 1995TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a method of providing a semiconductor substrate, forming a gate over the substrate, doping the substrate to form a pair of LDD regions in the substrate and then doping the region to separate the source and drain regions from a bulk portion of the substrate.
Abstract: An integrated circuit device including a substrate, a gate structure formed over the substrate, a channel formed in the substrate under the gate, a lightly-doped drain-side LDD region formed in the substrate adjacent to a drain-side of the channel (preferably by a LATID process), a drain region formed in the substrate near to the drain-side LDD region, and a drain-side DDD region substantially separating the drain-side LDD region from the drain region. Preferably, the integrated circuit device is symmetrically formed such that a lightly-doped source-side LDD region is formed in the substrate adjacent to a source-side of the channel (again preferably by a LATID process), a source region is formed in the substrate near to the source-side LDD region, and a source-side DDD region is formed in the substrate to substantially separate the source-side LDD region from the source region. Further preferably, the DDD regions substantially isolate the source and drain from a bulk portion of the substrate. A method of the present invention includes the steps of providing a semiconductor substrate, forming a gate over the substrate to define a channel, doping the substrate to form a pair of LDD regions in the substrate, doping the region to form a drain region and a source region, and doping the substrate to form a drain-side DDD region in the substrate which substantially separates the drain region from a drain-side LDD region and which substantially isolates the drain region from a bulk portion of the substrate, and to form a source-side DDD region in the substrate which substantially separates the source region from a source-side LDD region and substantially isolates the source region from a bulk portion of the substrate.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that NCFET can be designed for fluid subthreshold swing (SS) behavior such that SS is degraded around and is improved in the subth threshold region, which helps in combating OFF-current variation due to the threshold voltage fluctuations.
Abstract: Negative capacitance field effect transistor (NCFET) is designed in 5-nm FinFET node, which simultaneously meets the low-power and high-performance targets of ${I}_{ \mathrm{\scriptscriptstyle ON}}$ and ${I}_{ \mathrm{\scriptscriptstyle OFF}}$ at ${V}_{\sf dd}= 0.5$ V and ${V}_{\sf dd}= 0.23$ V, respectively, while the international roadmap for devices and systems (ITRS 2.0) projected ${V}_{\sf dd}$ is 0.65 V for both. The impact of power supply and parasitic capacitance on the performance of NCFET is studied. It is demonstrated that NCFET can be designed for fluid subthreshold swing (SS) behavior such that SS is degraded around ${V}_{\sf gs}=0$ , ${V}_{\sf ds}={V}_{\sf dd}$ , and is improved in the subthreshold region. This helps in combating OFF-current variation due to the threshold voltage fluctuations. A compact model to determine such design conditions is presented. Parasitic capacitance and the ferroelectric material parameters should be cooptimized for the target ${V}_{\sf dd}$ .

01 Dec 2017TL;DR: In this article, the scaling potential of negative capacitance FinFET and FDSOI (NC-FinFET, NC-FDSOIs) for technology nodes down to 2nm was studied.
Abstract: The scaling potential of negative capacitance FinFET and FDSOI (NC-FinFET and NC-FDSOI) are studied for technology nodes down to 2nm. According to ITRS 2.0, FinFET scaling ends at 6/5nm node due to the scaling limits of fin width (6 nm Wf m ) and FDSOI scaling ends at 11/10 nm due to scaling limit of the channel thickness (3 nm Tch). We present TCAD simulation evidence that using these Wfin and Tch, and negative capacitance enables FinFET and FDSOI scaling to 2 nm node. NC-FinFET and NC-FDSOI at 2 nm node show Ioff < 100nA/μm and 10%∼29% higher Ion compared with 2nm FinFET(97μA/μm Ioff) and FDSOI(46μA/μm Ioff). NC-FDSOI exhibits similarly strong back-gate bias effects on Ioff and Ion compared with FDSOI.

01 Jan 1991TL;DR: In this article, a quantitative model which relates the SOI (silicon-on-insulator) MOSFET breakdown voltage to key parameters such as channel length, SOI film thickness, and gate voltage is presented.
Abstract: A quantitative model which relates the SOI (silicon-on-insulator) MOSFET breakdown voltage to key parameters such as channel length, SOI film thickness, and gate voltage is presented The SOI breakdown is caused by electron impact ionization current produced near the drain which is subsequently amplified by a parasitic lateral bipolar transition This model is based on analytic modeling, quasi-2-D simulation and experimental study of the maximum drain electric field in SOI, and a novel method for measuring the lateral BJT (bipolar junction transistor) current gain beta using GIDL (gate-induced drain leakage) current It can accurately model the breakdown voltage within 02 V for different channel lengths, gate voltages, and SOI film thicknesses >

TL;DR: There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one, which seems an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality.
Abstract: There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one. I remember first hearing about it at school. It seemed an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality.
Usually familiarity dulls this sense of the bizarre, but in the case of i it was the reverse: over the years the sense of its surreal nature intensified. It seemed that it was impossible to write mathematics that described the real world in …

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the literature in the area of alternate gate dielectrics is given, based on reported results and fundamental considerations, the pseudobinary materials systems offer large flexibility and show the most promise toward success.
Abstract: Many materials systems are currently under consideration as potential replacements for SiO2 as the gate dielectric material for sub-0.1 μm complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) technology. A systematic consideration of the required properties of gate dielectrics indicates that the key guidelines for selecting an alternative gate dielectric are (a) permittivity, band gap, and band alignment to silicon, (b) thermodynamic stability, (c) film morphology, (d) interface quality, (e) compatibility with the current or expected materials to be used in processing for CMOS devices, (f) process compatibility, and (g) reliability. Many dielectrics appear favorable in some of these areas, but very few materials are promising with respect to all of these guidelines. A review of current work and literature in the area of alternate gate dielectrics is given. Based on reported results and fundamental considerations, the pseudobinary materials systems offer large flexibility and show the most promise toward success...

TL;DR: The analysis and design techniques of CMOS integrated circuits that practicing engineers need to master to succeed can be found in this article, where the authors describe the thought process behind each circuit topology, but also consider the rationale behind each modification.
Abstract: The CMOS technology area has quickly grown, calling for a new text--and here it is, covering the analysis and design of CMOS integrated circuits that practicing engineers need to master to succeed. Filled with many examples and chapter-ending problems, the book not only describes the thought process behind each circuit topology, but also considers the rationale behind each modification. The analysis and design techniques focus on CMOS circuits but also apply to other IC technologies.

TL;DR: Nanocrystals (NCs) discussed in this Review are tiny crystals of metals, semiconductors, and magnetic material consisting of hundreds to a few thousand atoms each that are among the hottest research topics of the last decades.
Abstract: Nanocrystals (NCs) discussed in this Review are tiny crystals of metals, semiconductors, and magnetic material consisting of hundreds to a few thousand atoms each. Their size ranges from 2-3 to about 20 nm. What is special about this size regime that placed NCs among the hottest research topics of the last decades?
