Enhanced voltage SOI MESFETs have been demonstrated on a highly scaled CMOS process. Their DC and RF performance along with reproducibility suggests that they would be ideal in a variety of analog and PA applications. Also, since they can be fabricated alongside the 45nm CMOS [4], they appear suitable for system-on-chip applications as an interface between high voltage external devices and the low voltage CMOS. While these initial results are encouraging, new MESFET geometries and structures have been taped out to further enhance the breakdown voltage. Lastly, with continued layout optimization it is expected that the variance between devices will be reduced.

The best-explored integrated magnetic field sensors are built with planar IC technologies, which do not allow 3D sensing in standard fabrication processes due to their bi-dimensional nature. Unlike planar devices, FinFETs can be used to sense magnetic fields in any direction. This work proposes and evaluates the use of FinFETs as magnetic sensors. The sensibility of FinFET differential arrays to lateral and vertical magnetic fields is quantified. This work also proposes the L-shaped gate, to improve the sensor performance.

We assessed the performance of planar fully-depleted transistors built on sSOI wafers by comparing them to devices fabricated with the same process on SOI. A 23% increase in device performance was demonstrated, while maintaining at least as good device electrostatics and matching as SOI.

Planar fully depleted (FD) devices with thin Buried Oxide (BOX) offer the unique ability to incorporate effective back biasing which is a key enabler to build a versatile multi-Vt technology. From a dynamic standpoint, forward back bias lowers Vt and thus boost device performance, whereas reverse back bias increases Vt and thus decreases leakage. From a static point of view the back gate allows fine Vt tuning. Here we propose and evaluate a back gate implant scheme that enables a full use of the back bias.

Strain-induced mobility enhancement in thin-body MOSFETs is studied and the impact of silicon body thickness scaling on piezoresistance coefficients is analyzed to facilitate stress engineering for these advanced transistor structures. Various stressors are benchmarked in terms of their effectiveness to enhance nanometer-gate-length thin-body MOSFET performance.

While the scaling of MOS transistors is still ongoing, the miniaturization of the DRAM storage capacitor is reaching a critical limit. A promising solution consists of eliminating the capacitor. Instead, the charges can be stored in the floating body of an SOI MOSFET, which is also used to read out the memory states. The floating-body 1T-DRAM takes advantage of floating-body and coupling effects that are usually regarded as parasitic phenomena.

The stringent requirements imposed by the ITRS rely on the introduction of alternative and/or new gate concepts and the implementation of advanced processing modules and materials[1]. During the last decade, alternative gate concepts, with an evolution from planar single gate to double gate, multi-gate FET (MugFET) or FinFET, and gate-all-around (GAA) or nanowire concepts have been extensively studied [2]. Although manufacturing issues have delayed their introduction in production lines, FinFET and MuGFET structures are presently being used for 22 nm technologies. The use of SOI devices leads to an improved radiation performance concerning single event upsets and latch-up [3], but can become worse for micro-dose effects and from a total ionizing dose point of view because of the radiation-induced interface states and trapped charge in the buried oxide [4].
