The measurement setup where the gate is connected to a RF signal is used to remove the discrepancy problem between conventional I-V and C-V methods. In order to increase the measurement accuracy, the intrinsic gate-to-channel capacitance data are determined by calibrating S-parameter sets measured at GHz using zero-bias data, instead of low-frequency C-V measurements. Contrary to the conventional C-V method, this new RF C-V method results in much smaller deviation from the I-V method.","PeriodicalId":178667,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 2000 IEEE Hong Kong Electron Devices Meeting (Cat.

In order to reduce the error caused by unknown Poisson's ratio and the boundary of the structure, Si/sub 3/N/sub 4/ film with a Young's modulus of 370 Gpa is used as a reference. The results show that NiSi formed at 350/spl deg/C has a Young's modulus of 132 GPa, which is lower than that that of normal grown polysilicon (/spl sim/160 Gpa) and Si/sub 3/N/sub 4/. It means that the NiSi is a promising structure material for MEMS application.","PeriodicalId":178667,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 2000 IEEE Hong Kong Electron Devices Meeting (Cat.

The effective Ta/sub 2/O/sub 5//silicon barrier height including image force barrier lowering is about 0.37 eV with drain to source voltage V/sub DS/ ranging from 1.5 V to 4.0 V. Due to the low barrier height, negative transconductance effect was observed in the linear region. The decrease of drain current is due to the real space transfer of electrons from the drain terminal to the gate electrode.","PeriodicalId":178667,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 2000 IEEE Hong Kong Electron Devices Meeting (Cat.
