Such device offers the best controllability of short-channel effects claimed to be the predominant factor limiting how far the downscaling can be achieved. However, the lack of analytic compact models for degraded drain current can easily be notified in literature. Therefore, in this work we investigate the immunity of GAA MOSFET against the hotcarrier-induced degradation effect after considering the step-function approximation for interface charge distribution. The importance of including a high-k layer into the device architecture is also studied; the damaged device model presented in this work provides a simple and accurate approach for simulating the circuit behavior after hot-carrier damage.","PeriodicalId":442381,"journal":{"name":"2010 XIth International Workshop on Symbolic and Numerical Methods, Modeling and Applications to Circuit Design (SM2ACD)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121265799","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 remarkable feature of the proposed model is that, in the hand the simplicity of the mathematical expressions and in the other hand the acceptable distribution for the potential and charge in the channel. The numerical results have been presented for the potential distribution and depletion-layer width for different parameters such as the drain-source voltage, gate-length, active-layer thickness and doped profile. It is observed that for the GaAs MESFET's, as the gate-length is decreased, the 2-D potential is increased and this demonstrates the importance of the two-dimensional analysis for the short-gate devices.","PeriodicalId":442381,"journal":{"name":"2010 XIth International Workshop on Symbolic and Numerical Methods, Modeling and Applications to Circuit Design (SM2ACD)","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115395065","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 model and the analysis is performed with channel length below 20 nm where electron transport is predominantly ballistic. In this paper a new developed modeling approach based on Boltzmann transport equation and Poisson equation in an n-channel nanoscale double-gate MOSFET is provided. The implications of ballistic transport to modeling a nanoscale MOSFET based on moment-based macroscopic transport models are discussed. The results show that the decrease in channel length toward 20nm and below increases the device performance. As it depends on the oxide thickness and the channel doping these characteristics make DG.MOSFET potentially suitable for logic- and digital circuits. The model has been implemented in the circuit simulation techniques such as Ring oscillators, CMOS inverters and other low power digital circuits.","PeriodicalId":442381,"journal":{"name":"2010 XIth International Workshop on Symbolic and Numerical Methods, Modeling and Applications to Circuit Design (SM2ACD)","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124780362","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}
