AbstractTo improve short-channel characteristics and increase current drive, SOI technology is shifting focus from “classical” single-gate MOSFET architectures to multiple-gate device structures. This paper traces the history of single- and multiple-gate SOI MOSFETs and summarizes the electrical characteristics of such devices.

Silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology is an effective approach of mitigating the short channel effect (SCE) problems. The SOI is believed to be capable of suppressing the SCE, thereby improving the overall electrical characteristics of MOSFET device. SCE in SOI MOSFET is heavily influenced by thin film thickness, thin-film doping density and buried oxide (BOX) thickness. This paper will analyze the effect of BOX towards SOI MOSFET device. The 50nm and 10nm thickness of buried oxide in SOI MOSFET was developed by using SILVACO TCAD tools, specifically known as Athena and Atlas modules. From the observation, the electrical characteristic of 100nm thickness is slightly better than 50nm and 10nm. It is observed that the value drive current of 10nm and 100nm thickness SOI MOSFET was 6.9% and 11% lower than 50nm respectively, but the overall 50nm is superior. However, the electrical characteristics of 10nm SOI MOSFET are still closer and within the range of ITRS 2013 prediction.

We present a comparative study of the electrical characteristics of different 1200V commercial SiC power MOSFETs at cryogenic temperatures down to 77 K. As compared to conventional silicon power MOSFETs, SiC MOSFETs show very different operating characteristics at low temperatures which is due to unique material and design parameters used in SiC MOSFETs. Of particular interest is a non-linear mixed triode/pentode-like I-V characteristic exhibited by all SiC MOSFETs at 77 K, which is demonstrated to be due to short channel effects in the constituent JFET.

Static induction transistors (SITs) are short channel FET structures which are suitable for high power, high frequency and high temperature applications. GaN has particularly favorable properties for SIT operation. However, such a device has not yet been fabricated. In this paper we report simulation studies on GaN static induction transistors over a range of device structures and operating conditions. The transistor was modeled with coupled drift-diffusion and heat-flow equations. We found that the performance of the device depends sensitively on the thermal boundary conditions, as self-heating effects limit the maximum voltage swing.

A great deal has been written about the mechanical design and the electrical characteristics of the Parkes radio telescope, but very little has been written about the pre-history — the factors leading up to the construction of that instrument. I want to spend a little time today describing some of the events which led to its being built.
