An approach to include elastic and inelastic electron-phonon scattering into the nonequilibrium Green's function (NEGF) framework that is computationally manageable and applicable to planar MOSFETs has been developed. By reformulating the NEGF equations in terms of integrated transverse momentum modes, the computational burden has been significantly reduced. This allows treatment of both quantum mechanics and dissipative electron-phonon scattering processes for device sizes from nanometers to microns. The formalism is rigorously benchmarked against semiclassical Monte Carlo transport.

The lattice scattering is carefully involved in a direct solution of the BTE and Poisson-Schrodinger equation method. Simulating results of a 9nm DG MOSFET shows the lattice scattering effects on the barrier height and the positions of barrier peak are small, but the effects on the carrier drift velocity are strongly. Not only intra-valley scatterings but also the inter-valley scatterings affect the electron energy, drift velocity and density distribution in channel region strongly. Thus the scattering effect must be considered when discussion carrier energy related device characteristics such as reliability, heat generation.

A lateral double diffused metal-oxide-semiconductor transistor (LDMOST) with double work function gate (DWG) structure was fabricated by utilizing silicidation of poly-Si layer. The n+ poly-Si gate in the source side was step-etched and the whole surface of the poly-Si gate was covered with Ni film, followed by self-aligned silicide (salicide) process. The step-etched poly-Si layer in the source side was totally converted to Ni-rich silicide which resulted in a higher work function. On the other hand, in the drain side, only the upper part of thick poly-Si layer was silicided and the non-silicided lower part of the poly-Si layer was considered to be a gate with a lower work function. In DWG structure, the average electric field in the channel is enhanced, which increases electron velocity and thus improves the overall carrier transport efficiency. The fabricated DWG-LDMOST exhibited better device performances, such as 16.4 % improvement in field effect mobility and 3.3 % improvement in sub-threshold slope.

In this paper, a capacitor-less 1T DRAM cell transistor with non-overlap structure and recessed channel is presented. Because of the non-overlap structure between gate and source/drain, GIDL (Gate Induced Drain Leakage) current is efficiently suppressed at hold condition. This results in more than 1 s retention time at 25 °C and 100 ms at 85 °C

By means of the TEM images, the channel width of (001) silicon pMOSFETs is separated into the flat and rounded corner parts. The underlying stress distribution is obtained via a process simulation. Then, a systematic analysis of the measured drain current leads to a remarkable result: The hole mobility in the non-(001) corner is about two times higher than the (001) flat one, valid for all channel widths involved. This is due to the multi-facets around (110) and (111) orientations. The confirmative evidence is also presented: (i) the increased value of the parameter η in effective field to maintain the mobility universality and (ii) the low frequency noise measurement to ensure the corner gate oxide integrity. Therefore, the non-(001) p-channel sidewall corner formed on (001) substrate can constitute a promising narrow device.

A new transistor parameter “ambipolarity factor (ν)” has been defined for SOI tunneling field-effect transistors (TFETs) and its usefulness has been discussed. The proposed ν indicates the severity of ambipolarity of TFETs quantitatively. Therefore, it is expected that ν will be helpful to suppressing OFF current for low-power consumption.

We realized lithographically-defined electrically-tunable silicon quantum dots (Si QDs) without unintentional localized potentials by improving device structures and fabrication techniques. Carrier density was tuned with a top gate and QD-potentials were controlled with the side gates. We succeeded in observing spin-related tunneling phenomena using the double QD device.

The effects of Al layer and plasma oxidation amount on TiO2 based bipolar RRAM cell are investigated, respectively. In Ir/Al/TiO2/Ir structure, VRESET is slightly lowered and the current ratio is increased. In case of plasma oxidation effect, the device which experienced short-time plasma oxidation has low set/reset voltages and high current and resistance ratios. These results are commonly thought to be induced by more oxygen vacancies.

DWDM should be an enabler of multi Tbps operation of Electronics and Photonics Integrated Circuits. To implement the photonic components into Si LSIs, one of the highest hurdles is temperature fluctuation of the chip leading wavelength fluctuation.

Statistical 3D TCAD simulations of 20nm gate SOTB MOSFETs have been done to study the effects of TBox, Vback-gate and WF on LER-induced variability. Our results show that thin box, reverse back-gate bias and high WF are effective ways to control the LER-induced threshold voltage's variations, especially for n-SOTB MOSFETs.
