However, looking into future scaling of nanoscale MOSFETs it becomes important to look at higher mobility materials, like Ge and III-V materials together with innovative device structures and strain, which may perform better than even very highly strained Si. For both Ge and III-V devices problems of leakage need to be solved.

Here, we present physical models to quantify the effect of quantum confinement in the channel of 4H-SiC MOSFETs on the occupation of interface traps. Quantum confinement in the MOSFET channel is solved for using the density gradient approach. Models for estimating the Fermi level at the interface, and thereby evaluating the occupation probability of interface traps are presented in the quantum confined scenario, and the results are compared to classical models. Significant difference is observed in trap occupation, especially at large gate biases, between the classical and quantum cases. This argues for the need for accurate modeling of confinement effects on interface trap occupation in 4H-SiC MOSFETs.","PeriodicalId":260253,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Conference on Simulation of Semiconductor Processes and Devices","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132107690","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}
