We have adapted an RC time-constant based timing simulator to predict hot-carrier degradation effects in digital CMOS circuits. The use of a timing simulator enables a quick characterization of degradation in large circuits. The speed-up over SPICE-based simulation can be greater than 3 orders-of-magnitude.<>

A new design approach featured by potential profile engineering is proposed for deep sub-half micron buried channel pMOSFETs by placing n regions within the LDD depletion layers. The newly designed n regions are effective for suppressing drain induced barrier lowering (DIBL) of buried channel pMOSFETs, without any degradation in Vt controllability. Simulation results suggest the potential profile engineering is useful for designing 0.25 mu m buried channel pMOSFETs with high driving capability and good Vt controllability.<>

This paper describes a high fmax self-aligned SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) technology which is based on the self-aligned selective epitaxial growth technology including Ge graded profile and link-base engineering using a BSG sidewall structure. The HBT has a Super Self-aligned Selectively grown SiGe Base (SSSB) structure. Base profile design and a 2-step annealing technique have realized a f/sub T/ of 51 GHz and low sheet resistance at the link-base region, and furthermore have accomplished fmax of as high as 50 GHz. ECL circuits of 19 psec gate delay have been achieved by using this SiGe HBT technology.<>

Theoretical and experimental studies are presented to model the gate-induced drain leakage(GIDL) current due to band-to-band tunneling, which is one of the major leakage components in off-state MOSFETs. The model shows a good agreement with the experimental data for more than 7 decades of current magnitudes. Therefore the impact of this tunneling leakage current can be correctly evaluated. Based on this model, the impact of GIDL on low off-state leakage drain engineering and on oxide scaling is investigated.<>

AlGaInP visible laser diode with lateral leaky waveguide structure has been demonstrated for the first time. The laser has differential quantum efficiency as high as 43% from one facet in addition to fundamental-transverse-mode stability without facet coating. The high differential quantum efficiency is due to the low propagation loss of this laser.<>

A novel facet-engineered elevated source/drain formation design is presented. It is found that the ex situ clean prior to selective Si epitaxial growth (SEG) determines the resulting facets on the SEG-source/drain. We show that low angle facets are very advantageous for minimizing parasitic Miller capacitances, while simultaneously grading the source/drain junction near the gate edge and retrieving the source/drain junction from the substrate elsewhere, thus reducing the junction capacitance. Further, we show that both a strong current drive (I/sub DS/) increase and a reduction in parasitic junction capacitance can be realized with facet-engineered phosphorus doped SEG-source/drain with no detrimental effects to short channel device behavior.<>

A new process has been developed which provides dielectrically isolated power and low voltage devices by means of rather standard VLSI CMOS technology. Isolation is obtained by SIMOX and trenches. For Smart Power applications this process allows the manufacturing of 50 V vertical DMOS transistors (VDMOS) together with 50 V dielectrically isolated quasivertical DMOS transistors (QVDMOS). For control circuit design CMOS, high voltage PMOS transistors (HVPMOS), NPN transistors, JFETs, Zener and Schottky diodes are available on the same chip. Thus, the designer has at hand a wide range of devices which allows an optimum solution for many circuit applications.<>

A new impact ionization model for our multi-band Monte Carlo simulator SLAPSHOT (Simulation Program Suitable for Hot Carrier Studies) is described in this paper. The new model, based on a modified anisotropic Keldysh formula, uses a threshold energy calculated by invoking both energy and momentum conservation in full pseudopotential bands. The new model is used, together with experimental impact ionization data, to accurately estimate the extent of the high energy tail of the energy distribution function and appropriate electron-phonon coupling constants for use in second energy band carrier transport descriptions.<>

This paper describes an investigation of thickness scaling of sol gel-derived ferroelectric lead zirconate titanate (PZT) thin films that demonstrates the highest charge storage capacity (220 fC/ mu m/sup 2/ for a 1.5 V voltage swing) ever reported, low leakage current density (<10-7 A/cm/sup 2/ at 0.75 V for V/sub DD//2 operation), and good dielectric integrity. V/sub DD//2 operation is also shown to be viable with these ferroelectric films since no fatigue is observed after 10/sup 11/ polarization reversals. These PZT films hold promise as an alternative to the conventional trench and stacked capacitor cell technologies employing SiO/sub 2//Si/sub 3/N/sub 4/ dielectrics which demand extremely severe geometries and exceedingly complex processes to meet the charge storage specifications of gigabit-scale DRAM's.<>

The components of a simulation tool for a self-consistent calculation of DC hot electron device degradation are discussed. The tool is based on the drift diffusion approximation including one of its generalizations. It includes carrier injection into the gate oxide, trapping and detrapping of oxide charges and interface states, and their feed back onto the device field.<>
