Ultrathin high-quality SOI less than 80 nm thick has been produced by the technique, which was named HO/SOI (Hollowed-Out SOI). A submicron p-MOSFET has been formed by this technique. The transconductance gm of the SOI MOSFET is 0.75 mS/mm at a gate voltage of -5 V and a drain voltage of -0.05 V. The g m is 47% higher than that of a bulk MOSFET. Negative differential conductance was observed for the p-MOSFET, as had been previously observed in n-MOSFET. The technique makes it possible to control the thermal oxide thickness of back gates, and eliminate leakage on the back surface of an SOI. This leads to the SOI transistor controlled by both side gates, or upside gate and bottom side gate","PeriodicalId":441541,"journal":{"name":"Digest of Technical Papers.1990 Symposium on VLSI Technology","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132482754","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}

Single trap filling and emptying can cause 0.1% step noise in drain current due to coulombic scattering. Trap location (3-10 Å from interface), time constant, energy and escape frequency are found to be very different from pre-stress (process-induced) traps. Random telegraph (RTS) noise was found to be a useful tool for studying stress-induced interface traps. It is more easily observable for stress-induced traps than process-induced traps due to the small stress area and low stress-induced trap density after light stressing. Using RTS as a characterization tool, it was found that the stress-induced traps are located closer to the interface, and therefore have a shorter time constant and much stronger influence on scattering and ΔId than process-induced traps. RTS only reveals those traps near the Fermi level, while the DC MOSFET IV degradation is also influenced by all the charged traps","PeriodicalId":441541,"journal":{"name":"Digest of Technical Papers.1990 Symposium on VLSI Technology","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126608130","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}

These effects cause increased optical absorption in the infrared (near band-edge) region due to both increased band-to-band and intraband absorption.

The model predicts analytical expressions for an optimum BJT emitter length versus MOS gate width for which the delay is a minimum. To minimize performance degradation at reduced supply, an effective circuit strategy is to design with wide MOS devices and small-length BJTs. The crucial BJT parameters are (reduced) junction capacitance, (reduced) transit time and the gain-knee current product.

This is more than two orders of magnitude longer than the conventional oxide-spacer lightly-doped-drain (LDD) devices. The large improvement is due to the unfavorable oxide field, when gate voltage (VG) is less than or equal to drain voltage (VD), for electron trapping into the gate-drain overlap region and not to the reduction of channel electric field. Under unusual operations with VG>VD the poly-spacer devices have a few times larger gate current, and thus more serious degradation, than the oxide-spacer devices. The drawbacks of the poly-space device, larger CGD and weaker gate oxide integrity can be significantly improved by a short oxidation before the poly-spacer formation. The optimum LDD dosage to avoid spacer-induced degradation is close to the highest dose before punch-through occurs.
