Abstract
The ballistic transport behaviors of SOI nMOSFETs with NiSi metal source/drain (S/D) have been investigated. It is found that the suppression of Schottky barrier height for holes results in an improvement of carrier injection velocity (vinj), attributable to the increased electrical field at the source edge. As a result, the electron injection velocity (vinj) of $1.77\times 10{^{{7}}}$ cm/s has been realized at the lateral electrical field of 1 MV/cm for the SOI nMOSFETs with a S/D Schottky barrier height of 0.71 eV. These results suggest that the metal S/D structure is feasible to boost the performance of ultimately scaled SOI devices.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Journal of the Electron Devices Society (J-EDS) is an open-access, fully electronic scientific journal publishing papers ranging from fundamental to applied research that are scientifically rigorous and relevant to electron devices. The J-EDS publishes original and significant contributions relating to the theory, modelling, design, performance, and reliability of electron and ion integrated circuit devices and interconnects, involving insulators, metals, organic materials, micro-plasmas, semiconductors, quantum-effect structures, vacuum devices, and emerging materials with applications in bioelectronics, biomedical electronics, computation, communications, displays, microelectromechanics, imaging, micro-actuators, nanodevices, optoelectronics, photovoltaics, power IC''s, and micro-sensors. Tutorial and review papers on these subjects are, also, published. And, occasionally special issues with a collection of papers on particular areas in more depth and breadth are, also, published. J-EDS publishes all papers that are judged to be technically valid and original.
