Abstract
The kink effect of gate-all-around (GAA) MOSFET has been experimentally validated by our GAA devices fabricated on a void embedded silicon-on-insulator (VESOI) substrate. In this VESOI GAA device, a consistent and favorable decrease in subthreshold swing (SS) is observed as
$V_{\mathrm { d}}$
increases, which has rarely been reported in devices with other gate structures. In particular, the SS of the device reaches the minimum ~0.1mV/dec with no discernable hysteresis window at
$V_{\mathrm { d}} {=} 4.5$
V under ambient condition. Further device simulation strongly confirms the unique role of the GAA controllability over the hysteresis-free kink process. These findings contribute to a better understanding of kink behaviors within GAA device for potential application.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Journal of the Electron Devices Society (J-EDS) is an open-access, fully electronic scientific journal publishing papers ranging from fundamental to applied research that are scientifically rigorous and relevant to electron devices. The J-EDS publishes original and significant contributions relating to the theory, modelling, design, performance, and reliability of electron and ion integrated circuit devices and interconnects, involving insulators, metals, organic materials, micro-plasmas, semiconductors, quantum-effect structures, vacuum devices, and emerging materials with applications in bioelectronics, biomedical electronics, computation, communications, displays, microelectromechanics, imaging, micro-actuators, nanodevices, optoelectronics, photovoltaics, power IC''s, and micro-sensors. Tutorial and review papers on these subjects are, also, published. And, occasionally special issues with a collection of papers on particular areas in more depth and breadth are, also, published. J-EDS publishes all papers that are judged to be technically valid and original.
