<p>Square gate all around MOSFETs are a very promising device structures allowing to continue scaling due to their superior control over the short channel effects. In this work a numerical study of a square structure with single channel is compared to a structure with 4 channels in order to highlight the impact of channels number<em> </em>on the device’s DC parameters (drain current and threshold voltage). Our single channel rectangular GAA MOSFET showed reasonable ratio Ion/Ioff of 10<sup>4</sup>, while our four channels GAA MOSFET showed a value of 10<sup>3</sup>. In addition, a low value of drain induced barrier lowering<em> (DIBL) of </em>60mV/V was obtained for our single channel GAA and a lower value of with 40mv/v has been obtained for our four channel one. Also, an extrinsic transconductance of 88ms/µm have been obtained for our four channels GAA compared to the single channel that is equal to 7ms/µm.</p>
In this work the corner effect sensitivity to fin geometry variation in multifin dual and tri-gate SOI-FinFETs is studied through a commercial, three-dimensional numerical simulator ATLAS from Silvaco International [1]. These devices are compatible with conventional silicon integrated circuit processing, but offer superior performance as the device is scaled into the nanometer range. This study aims wider to use multiple fins between the source and drain regions. The results indicate that for both multifin double and triple gate FinFETs, the corner effect does not lead to an additional leakage current and therefore does not deteriorate the SOI-FinFET performance.
With integrated circuit scales in the 22-nm regime, conventional planar MOSFETs have approached the limit of their potential performance. To overcome short channel effects 'SCEs' that appears for deeply scaled MOSFETs beyond 10nm technology node many new device structures and channel materials have been proposed. Among these devices such as Gate-all-around FET. Recentely, junctionless GAA MOSFETs JL-GAA MOSFETs have attracted much attention since the junctionless MOSFET has been presented. In this paper, DC characteristics of an n-type JL-GAA MOSFET are presented using a 3-D quantum transport model .This new generation device is conceived with the same doping concentration level in its channel source/drain allowing to reduce fabrication complexity . The performance of our 3D JL-GAA structure with a 20nm gate length and a rectangular cross section have been obtained using SILVACO TCAD tools allowing also to study short channel effects. Our device reveals a favorable on/off current ratio and better SCE characteristics compared to an inversion-mode GAA transistor. Our device reveals a threshold voltage of 0.55 V, a sub-threshold slope of 63mV / decade which approaches the ideal value, an Ion / Ioff ratio of 10e + 10 value and a drain induced barrier lowring (DIBL) value of 98mV / V.
lnAlAs/lnGaAs/InP high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) offers excellent high frequency operation.In this work,the DC and RF performance of a 20 nm gate length enhancement mode InAlAs/InGaAs/InP high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) on InP substrate are presented.The SILVACO-TCAD simulations performed at room temperature using the appropriate model sshowed that the studied device exhibit excellent pinch-off characteristics, with a maximum transconductance of 1100ms/mm, a threshold voltage of 0,62V, and an Ion/Ioff ratio of 2.106. The cut-off frequency and maximum frequency of oscillation are 980 GHz and 1.3THz respectively. These promising results allow us to affirm that this device is intended to be used in high frequency applications.
