Physics of ultrathin-body silicon-on-insulator Schottky-barrier field-effect transistors

چکیده
In this article we give an overview over the physical mechanisms involved in the electronic transport in ultrathinbody SOI Schottky-barrier MOSFETs. A strong impact of the SOI and gate oxide thickness on the transistor characteristics is found and explained using experimental as well as simulated data. We elaborate on the influence of scattering in the channel and show that for a significant barrier the on-state current is insensitive to scattering once the mean free path for scattering is larger than a characteristic length scale. In addition, recent efforts to lower the Schottky barrier at the source/drain channel interfaces are presented. Using dopant segregation during silicidation significantly lower effective Schottky barriers can be realized that allow for high performance SB-MOSFET devices. PACS 85.30.Tv; 85.35.-p; 73.30.+y

Self-consistent modeling of longitudinal quantum effects in nanoscale double-gate metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors
Ultrathin double-gate silicon-on-insulator transistors are studied in the quantum coherent limit. By treating electron-electron interaction on the level of a mean field approach, the density matrix of the device becomes diagonal when expressed in a basis that results from imposing scattering boundary conditions at the terminals. The self-consistent scattering wave functions are computed using a...
متن کاملA quantum-mechanical treatment of phonon scattering in carbon nanotube transistors
Phonon scattering in carbon nanotube field-effect transistors CNTFETs is treated using the nonequilibrium Green’s function formalism with the self-consistent Born approximation. The treatment simultaneously captures the essential physics of phonon scattering and important quantum effects. For a one-dimensional channel, it is computationally as efficient as and physically more rigorous than the ...

The improvement of the metal/InGaAs interface is essential for the future application of InGaAs metal source/drain Schottky-barrier metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect-transistors. In this article, on In0.53Ga0.47As, the authors examine the recently proposed method of inserting an ultrathin insulator to modulate the effective Schottky-barrier height SBH at the metal/semiconductor interface. ...
متن کاملCorrigendum: Analysing black phosphorus transistors using an analytic Schottky barrier MOSFET model
Owing to the difficulties associated with substitutional doping of low-dimensional nanomaterials, most field-effect transistors built from carbon nanotubes, two-dimensional crystals and other low-dimensional channels are Schottky barrier MOSFETs (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors). The transmission through a Schottky barrier-MOSFET is dominated by the gate-dependent transmissio...

The novel characteristics of a new lateral PNM Schottky collector bipolar transistor (SCBT) on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) are explored using two-dimensional (2-D) simulation. The collector-base junction of the proposed lateral PNM transistor consists of a Schottky junction between n-base (N) and metal (M). The characteristics of this structure are compared with that of lateral PNP transistors o...
