These effects can result in increased drain current over what is expected from stationary transport theory (i.e. velocity saturation), and in decreased hot-carrier energy spectrum spread, or carrier temperature, leading to improved device reliability. However, the magnitude of these effects depends strongly not only on channel length but also on overall device design such as channel doping configuration, drain junction depth, etc. Besides minimization of junction depths, optimal device design requires a super-steep-retrograde channel doping, with surface doping concentration no higher than mid-10/sup 16/ cm/sup -3/. This can be achieved with indium doping for NMOS, and antimony or arsenic doping for PMOS extreme submicron transistors.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":13885,"journal":{"name":"International Electron Devices Meeting 1991 [Technical Digest]","volume":"103 1","pages":"21-24"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78455288","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 Hall mobility for x=0.6 was measured to be 6100 and 52700 cm/sup 2//V-s at 300 and 77 K, respectively. The FETs having a gate length of 0.5 mu m exhibited a maximum external transconductance of 320 mS/mm and a drain saturation current density of 705 mA/mm. The f/sub T/ and f/sub max/ were measured to be 55 and 60 GHz, respectively. The saturation electron velocity was estimated to be 2.1*10/sup 7/ cm/s.

Wafers were intentionally contaminated with Ca, Zn, Fe, Cu or Al. The oxidation behavior of the contaminants and their effect on the Si surface roughness were investigated and correlated with the oxide breakdown properties. It was observed that Ca interacts strongly with the Si substrate during ramp-up. This results in a large increase in the Si surface roughness and poor breakdown properties of the thermal oxide layer. Fe degrades the oxide integrity by the formation of defect spots during the oxidation and Al induces damage under the SiO/sub 2//poly-Si interface. Metals such as Cu and Zn diffuse easily in the Si substrate and, consequently, do not have a large impact on the oxide quality. Standard grade chemicals are the main source for the metallic impurities. After switching to ultrapure chemicals, the DI-water distribution system becomes the limiting factor. Some techniques to reduce the contamination and Si-surface roughening are presented.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":13885,"journal":{"name":"International Electron Devices Meeting 1991 [Technical Digest]","volume":"17 1","pages":"71-74"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83807266","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}

Since the ultra-thin SOI structure provides high noise immunity, the storage node capacitance can be reduced by more than 50%. Therefore, in the proposed DRAM cell a large storage capacitor need not be essential, and this will extend the DRAMs miniaturization to the gigabit levels. The cell structure schematic is shown and threshold voltage dependences on channel length of DELTA-, conventional NMOS-, and PMOS-FETs are demonstrated. DELTA shows good short channel characteristics compared to conventional NMOS.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":13885,"journal":{"name":"International Electron Devices Meeting 1991 [Technical Digest]","volume":"5 1","pages":"959-961"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83858968","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}
