We focus on the premise that a good compact model should be based on a physical long-channel model that accurately fits both I-V and C-V data. To meet this requirement, we found that the model must account for the correct bias dependency of the surface potential, and include polysilicon depletion and quantum mechanical effects. The resulting model is predictive within a range of the fundamental process parameters, and is thus suitable for statistical circuit simulations.","PeriodicalId":137564,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of International Electron Devices Meeting","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127848847","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}

In this simulator, the influences of grain boundaries on the electrical conduction are represented by the grain boundary traps. The potential barriers are formed at the grain boundaries by the trapped electrons. The conduction electrons are repelled by these potential barriers and the current flow decreases. It is found from the simulation results that these potential barriers are reduced more significantly near the poly-Si-gate oxide interface and consequently the current flow is confined near the interface when a high gate voltage is applied. It also turns out that holes generated by the impact ionization significantly influence the channel electron conduction through reducing the barrier height at the grain boundary. This effect is the origin of the avalanche induced short channel effect in poly-Si TFT.","PeriodicalId":137564,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of International Electron Devices Meeting","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126635975","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}

Writing is achieved by channel initiated secondary electron injection, which permits writing for qV/sub DS/ below the 3.2 eV oxide barrier. Writing times of 1 ms are achieved for floating gate voltages V/sub FG/ as low as 1.2 V, with V/sub DS/=-V/sub BS/=2.5 V, voltages which can easily be derived from a single scaled power supply, the back-gate bias generated by low-current charge pumping. No high voltage transistors are required for writing or V/sub T/ convergence. Moreover, because the devices are based on a fully scaled 0.25 /spl mu/m CMOS process, NV-memory arrays can be easily integrated with a minimum of additional process steps. Tight V/sub T/ convergence together with low voltage operation and scaling compatibility makes them ideal candidates for Giga-bit Flash.","PeriodicalId":137564,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of International Electron Devices Meeting","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121069926","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}

The channel doping is high and the drain junction is abrupt and optimised to enhance the hot carrier avalanche generation in the silicon near the drain junction. As in the case with conventional MOS, this has the further impact of creating a high substrate current. In this work, a new model for both substrate and gate current using the same hot carrier energy distribution function in both models is presented. These models predict gate and substrate currents over a wide range of gate voltages and have been validated for both electron and hole hot carrier avalanche generation in n- and p-channel transistors. These models have been used to simulate flash EEPROM programming so that reliability issues, particularly with respect to the effect of the gate current due to hot hole injection, could be investigated.","PeriodicalId":137564,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of International Electron Devices Meeting","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125316728","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}
