Losses of microstrip line and coplanar waveguide made on HR and STD SOI wafers were analyzed with respect to temperature. MSL allows the use of STD substrate because the back ground plane shields the Si substrate. MSL can then be an interesting topology if the losses can be lowered to the same level than CPW made on HR SOI or SOS. For the CPW, the losses are of two kinds: conductor losses, due to the metal resistivity, and substrate losses, due to the coupling between the line and the substrate. These results demonstrate the feasibility and practical applicability of different passive structures in circuits design for both room and high temperature applications. Due to the rapid increase in the number of metallic interconnects, the top level metals are situated further away from the SOI substrate as the technology scales, thus reducing the substrate losses for CPW and widen the metallic strip for MSL. In a near future, 12 metal levels are available and enable using 5 times wider strips for MSL and thus reduce the losses by a factor of 3 making MSL as a very promising structure for RF design for the next technological node.

A new bias scheme of variable-/spl gamma/ FD SOI MOSFET is proposed. Using the scheme, almost no degradation of t/sub pd/ in the active-state is achieved even in the t/sub BOX/ of a sub-10 nm while I/sub off/ is sufficiently suppressed in the standby-state. Reducing the inter-die V/sub th/ fluctuation on a wide V/sub sub/ range in the active-state is realized. This device scheme is also well applicable to 3D channel MOSFETs including a FinFET.

This work deals with the electrical characterization down to 4K of fully depleted SOI MOSFET with a physical gate length down to 10nm. Temperature measurements are used to highlight source to drain tunneling: which is evidenced at room temperature for the first time. Finally resonant tunneling effect is observed.

The feasibility of a switched LC tank for multi-standards applications has been proved. With our balun structure, the MOSFET (and its noise) is isolated at secondary, therefore Q-factor is less decreased and flicker noise doesn't contribute to phase noise. This new structure has lower phase noise than classical bulk tank particularly when switched on. Moreover this new switched tank occupies only one inductor area (290/spl mu/m /spl times/ 190/spl mu/m).

In this paper, we report the influence of the TiN metal gate thickness on fully depleted (FD) silicon-on-insulator (SOI) MOS transistors with SiO/sub 2/ and HfO/sub 2/ gate dielectrics. The threshold voltage as well as the electrical oxide thickness (EOT), the gate leakage current and the channel mobility are impacted. Smaller the TiN layer is, better are the transistors characteristics. This is due to a lower charge effect when the TiN thickness decreases.

As the MOSFETs dimensions are scaled down, following the ITRS roadmap, the need for SOI wafers with ultra-thin Si films (UTF) becomes acute. Characterization of these wafers with simple, process-independent, and fast turnaround methods is very important. In this paper, we present for the first time 3 key aspects: (i) properties of UTF down to 10 nm thickness; (ii) comparison of thinning techniques (sacrificial oxidation vs. SCI); and (iii) comparison of pseudo-MOSFET and Hg-FET methods for UTF.

Multi-gate MOSFET (MuGFET) are the most promising candidates for beyond 45nm technology CMOS nodes. For future SoC solutions in these technologies the ability to realize also analog building blocks is of utmost importance. Up to now only a few publications are available concerning the perspective of FinFETs for analog applications and no reports and measurement results can be found about the realization of analog circuits with these advanced devices. In this work the design and realization of basic analog circuits (low voltage bandgap, Miller op amp and current reference) with FinFET devices were demonstrated for the first time, including measurement results.

This paper presents various considerations for substrate doping optimization in SOI T-RAM technology. Back gate (substrate voltage) control is used in an SOI T-RAM technology for optimizing cell characteristics. However, it is reported for the first time that typical low-doped substrates used in SOI logic technologies can create unusually slow transient effects in T-RAM cell. It is also demonstrated that the optimization of substrate doping resolves this slow transient problem and improves back gate control of SOI T-RAM memory arrays.

Strained silicon engineering has become a key innovation to enhance device on-current. It has allowed the IC industry to keep on the scaling path and assure a performance gain from one technology node to the next. Uniaxial strained silicon has already made its way into 90nm IC manufacturing. Biaxial wafer level strain may be the next step for boosting transistor performance. At the substrate level, strained silicon on insulator is a major innovation that offers higher carrier mobility, combining the advantages of SOI with those of strained silicon. This review focuses on the development of strained silicon, its impact on device properties and its scalability beyond 65nm design rules.
