Abstract
In this paper, an analytical model for center potential and threshold voltage is developed for a dual-material graded-channel cylindrical gate-all-around (DMGC CGAA) FET by integrating gate engineering and channel engineering. The potential distribution of the device is determined by solving the two-dimensional (2-D) Poisson equation in cylindrical coordinates with suitable boundary conditions by applying the parabolic approximation method. The threshold voltage (Vth) is calculated from the minimum center potential in the channel. The center potentials of single-material graded-channel cylindrical gate-all-around (SMGC CGAA) field effect transistors (FETs) and DMGC CGAA FETs are compared, and the optimum values are determined by varying the different device parameters of the DMGC CGAA FETs. The short-channel effects (SCEs) including threshold voltage (Vth) roll-off, hot carrier effect (HCE) and drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL) are examined. The effects of oxide thickness (tox) and cylinder diameter (tsi) on the Vth are also investigated. The proposed model results are in agreement with the simulation results using technology computer-aided design (TCAD).
期刊介绍:
he Journal of Computational Electronics brings together research on all aspects of modeling and simulation of modern electronics. This includes optical, electronic, mechanical, and quantum mechanical aspects, as well as research on the underlying mathematical algorithms and computational details. The related areas of energy conversion/storage and of molecular and biological systems, in which the thrust is on the charge transport, electronic, mechanical, and optical properties, are also covered.
In particular, we encourage manuscripts dealing with device simulation; with optical and optoelectronic systems and photonics; with energy storage (e.g. batteries, fuel cells) and harvesting (e.g. photovoltaic), with simulation of circuits, VLSI layout, logic and architecture (based on, for example, CMOS devices, quantum-cellular automata, QBITs, or single-electron transistors); with electromagnetic simulations (such as microwave electronics and components); or with molecular and biological systems. However, in all these cases, the submitted manuscripts should explicitly address the electronic properties of the relevant systems, materials, or devices and/or present novel contributions to the physical models, computational strategies, or numerical algorithms.
