Optimization of NCFET by Matching Dielectric and Ferroelectric Nonuniformly Along the Channel

TLDR
In this paper, a new design to overcome the nonuniformity of capacitance matching along the channel of a negative capacitance field effect transistor is presented, in which the thickness of SiO2 at the edge regions of the channel can be increased while maintaining the thickness at the center region.
Abstract
A new design to overcome the nonuniformity of capacitance matching along the channel of a negative capacitance field-effect transistor is presented in this letter. By introducing nonuniform oxidation, the thickness of SiO2 at the edge regions of the channel can be increased while maintaining the thickness of SiO2 at the center region of the channel. As a result, the capacitance along the channel becomes more uniform, and better capacitance matching between the dielectric and ferroelectric can be achieved. The Sentaurus TCAD results show improvement of matching in the center region and a significant boost of ON-current (20% improvement).

Effect of different capacitance matching on negative capacitance FDSOI transistors

TL;DR: It is observed that NCFETs with a two-layer ferroelectric structure can effectively adopt the capacitance matching in different operation regions, thereby increasing the on- state current and reducing the off-state current, resulting in higher switching current ratio (ION/IOFF) than the single-layer counterpart.
