In this paper a comprehensive investigation of a novel device called split-gate silicon-on-insulator MOSFET (SPG SOI MOSFET) is proposed to reduce short-channel effects (SCEs). Studying the device has been done by analytical approach and simulation. In the proposed structure the gate is split into two parts. A voltage difference exists between the two parts. It is demonstrated that the surface potential in the channel region exhibits a step function. Some improvements are obtained on parameters such as SCEs, hot-carrier effect (HCE), and drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL). The accuracy of the results obtained by use of the analytical model is verified by ATLAS device simulation software. The obtained results of the model are compared with those of the single-gate (SG) SOI MOSFET. The simulation results show that the SPG SOI MOSFET performance is superior.

With the emergence of mobile computing and communication, low power device design and implementation have got a significant role to play in VLSI circuit design. Conventional silicon (bulk CMOS) technology couldn‘t overcome the fundamental physical limitations belonging to sub-micro or nanometer region which leads to alternative device technology like Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) technology. In a fully-depleted FDSOI structure the electrostatic coupling of channel with source/drain and substrate through the buried layer (BL) is reduced. This allows in turn to reduce the minimal channel length of transistors or to relax the requirements on Si film thickness. A generalized compact threshold voltage model for SOI-MOSFET is developed by solving 2-D Poisson‘s equation in the channel region and analytical expressions are also developed for the same. The performance of the device is evaluated after incorporating the short channel effects. It is observed that in SOI, presence of the oxide layer resists the short channel effects and reduces device anomalies such as substrate leakage by a great factor than bulk-MOS. The threshold voltage and current drive make SOI the ultimate candidate for low power application. Thus SOI-MOSFET technology could very well be the solution for further ultra scale integration of devices and improvised performance.

We present a novel approach to achieve terahertz-range cutoff frequencies and maximum frequencies of operation of GaN based heterostructure field-effect transistors (HFETs) at relatively high drain voltages. Strong short-channel effects limit the frequency of operation and output power in conventional geometry GaN HFETs. In this work, we propose a novel device with two additional independently biased electrodes controlling the electric field and space-charge close to the gate edges. As a result, the effective gate length extension due to short channel effects is diminished and electron velocity in the device channel is increased. Our simulations show that the proposed five-terminal HFET allows achieving fT=1.28 THz and fmax= 0.815 THz at the drain voltages as high as 12 V. Hence, this device opens up a new approach to designing THz transistor sources.

The present paper deals with the analytical modeling of subthreshold characteristics of short-channel fully-depleted recessed-source/drain SOI MOSFET with back-gate control. The variations in the subthreshold current and subthreshold swing have been analyzed against the back-gate bias voltage, buried-oxide (BOX) thickness and recessed source/drain thickness to assess the severity of short-channel effects in the device. The model results are validated by simulation data obtained from two-dimensional device simulator ATLAS from Silvaco.

In the nanoscale domain, the MOSFETs are prone to various physical effects due to their shorter channel region known as short-channel effects (SCE). The researchers have proposed an advanced structure of MOSFET known as the ultrathinbody silicon-on-insulator (UTBSOI) to overcome the limitations of SCEs. The UTBSOI is a type of double-gate (DG) MOSFET having superior controllability of gates over the shorter channel region. Nowadays, the UTBSOI MOSFETs can be adopted in the circuit simulators through the use of a device model named BSIM-IMG. The BSIM-IMG has made it possible for the circuit designers to simulate any UTBSOI based analog blocks like operational amplifiers (opamp). The performance parameters of an opamp are very much sensitive to any perturbation in size (W/L) of the constituent MOSFETs, that may cause a drastic change in the output. In this paper, the sensitivity analysis procedure has been proposed for the CMOS and UTBSOI based two-stage opamps as the function of perturbation in W/L. In addition to this, an algorithm has also been presented to do the same. From the simulation results, it is observed that the sensitivity of the UTBSOI based opamp (UTBSOI-opamp) is larger than that of CMOS based opamp (CMOS-opamp).

Abstract in this paper a modified junctionless transistor is proposed. The aim of the novel structure is controlling off-current using π-shape silicon window in the buried oxide under the source and the channel regions. The π-shape window changes the potential profile in the channel region in which the conduction band energy get away from the body Fermi energy and rebuild an electrostatic potential. Beside the significant reduced off-current, on current has acceptable value in the novel Silicon Region Junctionless MOSFET (SR-JMOSFET) than Conventional Junctionless MOSFET (C-JMOSFET). Moreover, replacing silicon material instead of silicon dioxide in the buried oxide causes reduced maximum temperature in the channel region. In this situation the heat could transfer to the π-shape silicon window and the temperature reduces in the active region, significantly.The simulation with the two-dimensional ATLAS simulator shows that short channel effects such as subthreshold and DIBL are controlled effectively in the SR-JMOSFET. Also, the optimum values of length and thickness of the π-shape window are defined to obtain the best behavior of the device.
