Modeling of the drain-induced barrier lowering effect and optimization for a dual-channel 4H silicon carbide metal semiconductor field effect transistor

A new analytical model to describe the drain-induced barrier lowering （DIBL） effect has been obtained by solving the two-dimensional （2D） Poisson＇s equation for the dual-channel 4H-SiC MESFET （DCFET）. Using this analytical model, we calculate the threshold voltage shift and the sub-threshold slope factor of the DCFET, which characterize the DIBL effect. The results show that they are significantly dependent on the drain bias, gate length as well as the thickness and doping concentration of the two channel layers. Based on this analytical model, the structure parameters of the DCFET have been optimized in order to suppress the DIBL effect and improve the performance.

Two-dimensional threshold voltage analytical model of DMG strained-silicon-on-insulator MOSFETs

For the first time,a simple and accurate two-dimensional analytical model for the surface potential variation along the channel in fully depleted dual-material gate strained-Si-on-insulator（DMG SSOI） MOSFETs is developed.We investigate the improved short channel effect（SCE）,hot carrier effect（HCE）,drain-induced barrier-lowering（DIBL） and carrier transport efficiency for the novel structure MOSFET.The analytical model takes into account the effects of different metal gate lengths,work functions,the drain bias and Ge mole fraction in the relaxed SiGe buffer.The surface potential in the channel region exhibits a step potential,which can suppress SCE,HCE and DIBL.Also,strained-Si and SOI structure can improve the carrier transport efficiency,with strained-Si being particularly effective.Further, the threshold voltage model correctly predicts a＂rollup＂in threshold voltage with decreasing channel length ratios or Ge mole fraction in the relaxed SiGe buffer.The validity of the two-dimensional analytical model is verified using numerical simulations.

Simulation of electrical characteristics and structural optimization for small-scaled dual-gate GeOI MOSFET with high-k gate dielectric

The influences of the main structure and physical parameters of the dual-gate GeOl MOSFET on the device performance are investigated by using a TCAD 2D device simulator. A reasonable value range of germanium （Ge） channel thickness, doping concentration, gate oxide thickness and permittivity is determined by analyzing the on-state current, off-state current, short channel effect （SCE） and drain-induced barrier lowering （DIBL） effect of the GeOI MOSFET. When the channel thickness and its doping concentration are 10-18 nm and （5-9）×1017 cm-3, and the equivalent oxide thickness and permittivity of the gate dielectric are 0.8-1 nm and 15-30, respectively, excellent device performances of the small-scaled GeOI MOSFET can be achieved： on-state current of larger than 1475 μA/μm, off-state current of smaller than 0.1μA/μm, SCE-induced threshold-voltage drift of lower than 60 mV and DIBL-induced threshold-voltage drift of lower than 140 mV.
