Abstract
This preliminary study aims to explore the feasibility of a new metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) device, specifically in 28-nm fully-depleted silicon-on-insulator (FD-SOI) ultra-thin body buried (UTBB) technology, with a new dedicated gate stack of magnetic material, with and without TiN metal gate, along with an gate oxide. This study focuses on stacking a magnetic material in a MOS gate through 3D HFSS numerical simulations to evaluate the magnetic field gradient under and around the MOS dot device. Typically, the polycrystalline silicon gate is replaced by a magnetic material exhibiting metallic behaviour to enable conventional electrostatic MOS control with Vg gate bias. Designed to adhere to 28-nm specifications, potential candidates for process integration are Co or Ni magnetic materials. Other materials should be selected based on the magnetic specifications and metal work function. These configurations can be used in applications with an internal or external magnetic field environment, relevant to quantum or sensor applications. Finally, 3D magnetic simulations are carried out with the HFSS tool under static conditions with electric biases.
