As the gate length is reduced, the nanowire diameter must be scaled quite aggressively in order to suppress short-channel effects2. However, a reduction in transconductance (gm) and drive current (ION) could be expected due to increased surface scattering for thin wires. We present data for the device properties of thin InAs nanowires, with diameters in the 15 nm range, and investigate possible improvements of the performance focusing on transistor applications. In order to boost ION, the source and drain resistance need to be reduced. Several doping sources were therefore evaluated in the study, among them selenium (Se), tin (Sn) and sulphur (S) to form n-i-n structures. We report very high current densities, up to 33 MA/cm2, comparable to modern HEMTs3, and a normalized transconductance of 1.8 S/mm for a nanowire with an intrinsic segment of nominally 150 nm and a diameter of 15 nm.","PeriodicalId":107059,"journal":{"name":"69th Device Research Conference","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116376267","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}

High-performance enhancement-mode (E-mode) N-polar GaN devices with self-aligned source/drain have recently been demonstrated with a current gain cut-off frequency (ft) of 120 GHz at a gate length of 70 nm [1]. Further scaling of the gate length to sub-50nm dimensions would require vertical scaling of the GaN channel thickness to 5 nm and the incorporation of a high-k gate dielectric in order to maintain a high aspect ratio, and a positive threshold voltage. The proximity of the surface to the 2-DEG in the ultra-scaled channels lead to surface depletion, and reduced mobility which increase the parasitic access resistance. This problem becomes critical in the E-mode devices because of the lower modulation doping compared to D-mode devices.

III–V n-channel MOSFETs have been extensively studied [2–4], showing high electron mobility. However, one of the most critical challenges in realizing high performance III–V MOSFETs is the difficulties in source/drain (S/D) design including parasitic resistance due to low solubility and poor activation of dopant and the “source starvation” effect due to low density of states [5–6]. Annealing of implant damage after S/D ion-implantation is also more problematic in III–V's due to the presence of 2 or more atomic species vs. group IV semiconductors (Fig.1). Use of Schottky-barrier (SB) metal S/D is a promising strategy to overcome these limitations [7]. Meanwhile, for III–V based CMOS logic, achieving a high mobility pMOSFET in a III–V channel remains a challenge. Antimony (Sb) based compound semiconductors have the highest electron and hole mobilities amongst all III–V materials. Recently, high performance strained channel InGaSb pMOSFETs [8] have been demonstrated. In this paper, we study the metal contact to antimonides compound. Good metal contact formed on p-type material and current suppression on n-type samples is attributed to the Fermi-level pinning at metal/antimonide interface and charge-neutral level being near the valence band edge. Schottky-barrier S/D p-MOSFETs is proposed and experimentally demonstrated which combines an InxGa1−xSb channel for good hole transport with metal S/D for low access resistance.","PeriodicalId":107059,"journal":{"name":"69th Device Research Conference","volume":"65 33-34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132866994","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}
