The hetero-material gate, which consists of a main gate and two side-gates,is used to control the surface potential distribution. The fabrication process and the device characteristics are simulated with Tsuprem-4 and Medici separately. Compared to a common DG fully depleted SO1 MOSFET,the proposed device has much higher on/off current ratio and superior sub-threshold slope. The on/off current ratio is about 10^10 and the sub-threshold slope is nearly 60mV/dec under a 0.18μm process.展开更多

The localization length of the system is calculated by using the finite-size scaling method combined with the transfer-matrix technique. In the case of weak δB, we find that the random magnetic field system is equivalent to the integer quantum Hall effect system, namely, the energy band splits into a series of disorder broadened Landau bands, at the centers of which states are extended with the localization length exponent . With increasing δB, the extended states float up in energy, which is similar to the levitation scenario proposed for the integer quantum Hall effect.展开更多

It en- hanced along with the increased charge sharing which is norm for future advanced technologies. As technology scales, param- eter variation is another serious issue that significantly affects circuit's performance and single-event response. Monte Carlo simulations combined with TCAD (Technology Computer-Aided Design) simulations are conducted on a six-stage inverter chain to identify and quantify the impact of charge sharing and parameter variation on pulse quenching. Studies show that charge sharing induce a wider WSET spread range. The difference of WSET range between no quenching and quenching is smaller in NMOS (N-Channel Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor) simulation than that in PMOS' (P-Channel Met- N-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor), so that from parameter variation view, quenching is beneficial in PMOS SET mitigation. The individual parameter analysis indicates that gate oxide thickness (TOXE) and channel length variation (XL) mostly affect SET response of combinational circuits. They bring 14.58% and 19.73% average WSET difference probabilities for no-quenching cases, and 105.56% and 123.32% for quenching cases.展开更多
