Abstract
The study aimed to investigate the transfer characteristics of metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) at cryogenic temperatures to elucidate the experimental conditions affecting the accurate estimation of the drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL) parameter. Our device simulation revealed that MOSFETs featuring an underlap between the gate and source/drain edges experience a significant shift in threshold voltage (V
t) in the low drain voltage (V
d) region, which causes the misestimation of the DIBL parameter. This V
t change is due to a notable increase in carrier concentration within the underlap region. To mitigate misestimation, confirming the dependence of the DIBL parameter on the linear region of V
d serves as an effective method to ensure accurate estimation.
这项研究旨在调查金属氧化物半导体场效应晶体管(MOSFET)在低温下的传输特性,以阐明影响漏极诱导势垒降低(DIBL)参数准确估算的实验条件。我们的器件仿真显示,栅极和源极/漏极边缘之间存在欠间隙的 MOSFET 在低漏极电压 (V d) 区域的阈值电压 (V t) 会发生显著变化,从而导致 DIBL 参数的错误估计。这种 V t 变化是由于迭底区内的载流子浓度显著增加所致。为了减少误估,确认 DIBL 参数对 V d 线性区域的依赖性是确保准确估算的有效方法。
