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).

We have presented a high-density DG logic circuit technique exploiting the unique V/sub T/ modulation effect through the extended gate-to-gate coupling in high-V/sub T/ symmetrical DG devices. The scheme reduces the number of stacked transistors (hence area/capacitance and standby/dynamic power), and improves performance. The performance improvement and power reduction are evaluated/validated using mixed-mode two-dimensional numerical simulations.

Three different type strained-Si substrates, EPI, SGOI and SSOI, were evaluated by newly developed high-resolution UV-Raman spectroscopy. The structure relaxation occurred by RTA at 1050/spl deg/C. The Raman peak shifted toward larger wavenumber after RTA for SSOI, indicating strain relaxation. The peak shifted toward lower wavenumber in the case of EPI due to the Ge diffusion rather than strain relaxation. The SGOI showed complex characteristics of SSOI and EPI.

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.

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.

Thermal agglomeration of ultra-thin SOI (<20nm) is an undesirable issue for device fabrication. In this article for the first time, a methodology to calculate the critical temperature and agglomeration rate on patterned SOI wafers with different thicknesses, ranging from 5.9nm to 12.1nm has been established. This study also presents the agglomeration effect on patterned SOI wafers for silicon structure shape, undoped, n-type doped, and p-type doped. The developed method has been tested and compared in context of previous papers published on non-patterned films presented in Y. Ishikawa et al. (2002). In addition, detailed analysis on various surface morphologies at different temperatures has been included.

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.

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.

Electrical properties in germanium and performances of GeOI devices have been studied using MC simulations. We have shown an ion improvement increasing when the channel length is shrinked that is not the case in strained-Si based NFET. The results clearly demonstrate that the germanium may be a promising material for the future CMOS technology.
