We also examine both unipolar and ambipolar operating conditions, and find that peak channel temperatures are proportional to oxide thickness for the unipolar case (as would be expected), but for ambipolar operation an optimum oxide substrate thickness exists (∼80 nm) which minimizes peak temperature, due to competing electrostatic and thermal effects.","PeriodicalId":107059,"journal":{"name":"69th Device Research Conference","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124846601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

NRI seeks to find not just a one generation improvement on the FET, but rather a new extended scaling path.

Our approach to increase the mobility involves (i) reducing dislocation density by using thick buffer on Si and (ii) using 1.5 nm AlN spacer.

{"title":"RF performance projections for 2D graphene transistors: Role of parasitics at the ballistic transport limit","authors":"Pei Zhao, D. Jena, S. Koswatta","doi":"10.1109/DRC.2011.5994422","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/DRC.2011.5994422","url":null,"abstract":"The modeled device structures are shown in Figure 1, (a) top-gated structure ε<inf>ox</inf> = 20 and t<inf>ox</inf> = 1.5nm, and (b) back-gated structure with 90nm thick SiO<inf>2</inf>. The contact resistance and parasitic capacitance have also been taken into consideration in the simulations. Figure 2 shows the effect of M-G contacts on the transfer characteristics and transconductance, g<inf>m</inf> for the top-gated structure. The on-current, I<inf>on</inf>, can be increased with strong M-G coupling strength Δ or heavy contact induced doping (i.e. larger ΔE<inf>contact</inf>). The off-current, I<inf>off</inf>, does not increase. Large ΔE<inf>contact</inf> increases g<inf>m</inf>, but the maximum g<inf>m</inf> does not show a strong dependence on Δ. We use Δ=50meV and ΔE<inf>contac</inf> = −0.4eV for rest of the simulations. Figure 3 shows the I<inf>DS</inf> vs. V<inf>GS</inf> and g<inf>m</inf> vs. V<inf>GS</inf> at different V<inf>DS</inf> for the top-gated structure. Large V<inf>DS</inf> yields a higher maximum g<inf>m</inf>, but low V<inf>DS</inf> shows better linearity with a broader ƒ<inf>T</inf> peak. Transfer characteristics with different channel lengths are shown in Figure 4. For the top-gated structure excellent gate electrostatics helps avoid short channel effects (SCE). I<inf>on</inf> remains the same for all channel lengths. I<inf>off</inf> increases about 1.5 times when L<inf>ch</inf> decreases from 100nm to 15nm due to direct source to drain tunneling. The rise in I<inf>off</inf> leads to g<inf>m</inf> degradation at L<inf>ch</inf>=15nm. In the back-gated structure, the on/off ratio is degraded at shorter channel lengths, and the minimum conduction point shifts. Figure 5 shows the effect of contact resistance on I<inf>D</inf> - V<inf>GS</inf> characteristics at L<inf>ch</inf> = 100nm. At V<inf>DS</inf> = 0.3V, compared with the intrinsic case, when R<inf>S/D</inf> = 0.5Ωmm, on/off ratio decreases 3x for the top-gated structure and 1.2x for the back-gated structure. I<inf>on</inf> reduces 22x for the top-gated structure and 6x for the back-gated structure. Figure 6 shows the comparison of ƒ<inf>T</inf> -V<inf>GS</inf> with different channel lengths at V<inf>DS</inf> = 0.3V. The cutoff frequency is calculated as ƒ<inf>T</inf> = 1/2πτ<inf>tot</inf>, where τ<inf>tot</inf> = L<inf>ch</inf>C<inf>gs</inf>/g<inf>m</inf> + C<inf>gd</inf>/g<inf>m</inf> + C<inf>gd</inf>(R<inf>S</inf>+R<inf>D</inf>), C<inf>gs</inf> = ∂Q<inf>ch</inf>/∂V<inf>GS</inf>, R<inf>S/D</inf> = 0.5Ωmm, and C<inf>gd</inf> = 2pF/cm and 0.5pF/cm for the top-gated and the back-gated structures, respectively. Charging/discharging process is faster at shorter channel lengths, thus the peak ƒ<inf>T</inf> increases. In the back-gated structure, SCE is strong, thus the on/off ratio decreases and g<inf>m</inf> drops dramatically at short L<inf>ch</inf>.
