This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is true that the Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Eeffect Transistor (MOSFET) is a key component in modern microelectronics. It is also true that there is a lack of comprehensive books on MOSFET characterization in gen eral. However there is more than that as to the motivation and reasons behind writing this book. During the last decade, device physicists, researchers and engineers have been continuously faced with new elements which made the task of MOSFET characterization more and more crucial as well as difficult. The progressive miniaturization of devices has caused several phenomena to emerge and modify the performance of scaled-down MOSFETs. Localized degradation induced by hot carrier injection and Random Telegraph Signal (RTS) noise generated by individual traps are examples of these phenomena. Therefore, it was inevitable to develop new models and new characterization methods or at least adapt the existing ones to cope with the special nature of these new phenomena. The need for more deep and extensive characterization of MOSFET param eters has further increased as the applications of this device have gained ground in many new fields in which its performance has become more and more sensi tive to the properties of its Si - Si0 interface. MOS transistors have crossed 2 the borders of high speed electronics where they operate at GHz frequencies. Moreover, MOSFETs are now widely employed in the subthreshold regime in neural circuits and biomedical applications.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The boom of mobile communications leads to an increasing request of low cost and low power mixed mode integrated circuits. Maturity of SOI technology, and recent progresses of MOSFET's microwave performances, explain the success of silicon as compared to III-V technologies for low-cost multigigahertz analog applications. The design of efficient circuits requires accurate, wide-band models for both active and passive elements. Within this frame, passive and active components fabricated in SOI technologies have been studied. Various topologies of integrated transmission lines, like Coplanar Waveguides or thin film microstrip lines, have been analyzed. Also, a new physical model of integrated inductors has been developed. This model, based on a coupled line analysis of square spiral inductors, is scalable and independent of the technology used. Inductors with various spacing between strips, conductor widths, or number of turns can be simulated on different multi-layered substrates. Each layer that composes the substrate is defined using its electrical properties (permittivity, permeability, conductivity). The performances of integrated sub-micron MOSFETs are analyzed. New alternative structures of transistor (the Graded Channel MOSFET and the Dynamic Threshold MOSFET) are proposed to increase the performances of a CMOS technology for for analog, low power, low voltage, and microwave applications. They are studied from Low to High frequency. The graded channel MOSFET is an asymmetric doped channel MOSFET's which bring solutions for the problems of premature drain break-down, hot carrier effects, and threshold voltage (Vth) roll-off issues in deep submicrometer devices. The GCMOS processing is fully compatible with the conventional SOI MOSFET process flow, with no additional steps needed. The dynamic threshold voltage MOS is a MOS transistor for which the gate and the body channel are tied together. All DTMOS electrical properties can be deduced from standard MOS theory by introducing Vbs = Vgs. The main advantage of DTMOS over conventional MOS is its higher drive current at low bias conditions. To keep the body to source current as low as possible, the body bias voltage must be kept lower than 0.7 V. It seems obvious that the DTMOS transistor is an attractive component for low voltage applications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CMOS technology has now reached a state of evolution, in terms of both frequency and noise, where it is becoming a serious contender for radio frequency (RF) applications in the GHz range. Cutoff frequencies of about 50 GHz have been reported for 0.18 µm CMOS technology, and are expected to reach about 100 GHz when the feature size shrinks to 100 nm within a few years. This translates into CMOS circuit operating frequencies well into the GHz range, which covers the frequency range of many of today's popular wireless products, such as cell phones, GPS (Global Positioning System) and Bluetooth. Of course, the great interest in RF CMOS comes from the obvious advantages of CMOS technology in terms of production cost, high-level integration, and the ability to combine digital, analog and RF circuits on the same chip. This book discusses many of the challenges facing the CMOS RF circuit designer in terms of device modeling and characterization, which are crucial issues in circuit simulation and design.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Metal-Oxide Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor (MOSFET) is a key component in modern microelectronics. During the last decade, device physicists, researchers and engineers have been continuously faced with new elements making the task of MOSFET characterization increasingly crucial, as well as more difficult. The progressive miniaturization of devices has caused several phenomena to emerge and modify the performance of scaled-down MOSFETs. Localized degradation induced by hot carrier injection and Random Telegraph Signal (RTS) noise generated by individual traps are examples. It was thus unavoidable to develop new models and new characterization methods, or at least adapt the existing ones to cope with the special nature of these new phenomena. Characterization Methods for Submicron MOSFETs deals with techniques which show high potential for characterization of submicron devices. Throughout the book the focus is on the adaptation of such methods to resolve measurement problems relevant to VLSI devices and new materials, especially Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI). Characterization Methods for Submicron MOSFETs was written to provide help to device engineers and researchers to enable them to cope with the challenges they face. Without adequate device characterization, new physical phenomena and new types of defects or damage may not be well identified or dealt with, leading to an undoubted obstruction of the device development cycle. Audience: Researchers and graduate students familiar with MOS device physics, working in the field of device characterization and modeling. Also intended for industrial engineers working in device development, seeking to enlarge their understanding of measurement methods. The book additionally addresses device-based characterization for material and process engineers and for circuit designers. A valuable reference that may be used as a text for advanced courses on the subject.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book dedicated to the next generation of MOSFET models. Addressed to circuit designers with an in-depth treatment that appeals to device specialists, the book presents a fresh view of compact modeling, having completely abandoned the regional modeling approach.Both an overview of the basic physics theory required to build compact MOSFET models and a unified treatment of inversion-charge and surface-potential models are provided. The needs of digital, analog and RF designers as regards the availability of simple equations for circuit designs are taken into account. Compact expressions for hand analysis or for automatic synthesis, valid in all operating regions, are presented throughout the book. All the main expressions for computer simulation used in the new generation compact models are derived.Since designers in advanced technologies are increasingly concerned with fluctuations, the modeling of fluctuations is strongly emphasized. A unified approach for both space (matching) and time (noise) fluctuations is introduced.

This book was released on 2006-06-20 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Matching Properties of Deep Sub-Micron MOS Transistors examines this interesting phenomenon. Microscopic fluctuations cause stochastic parameter fluctuations that affect the accuracy of the MOSFET. For analog circuits this determines the trade-off between speed, power, accuracy and yield. Furthermore, due to the down-scaling of device dimensions, transistor mismatch has an increasing impact on digital circuits. The matching properties of MOSFETs are studied at several levels of abstraction: A simple and physics-based model is presented that accurately describes the mismatch in the drain current. The model is illustrated by dimensioning the unit current cell of a current-steering D/A converter. The most commonly used methods to extract the matching properties of a technology are bench-marked with respect to model accuracy, measurement accuracy and speed, and physical contents of the extracted parameters. The physical origins of microscopic fluctuations and how they affect MOSFET operation are investigated. This leads to a refinement of the generally applied 1/area law. In addition, the analysis of simple transistor models highlights the physical mechanisms that dominate the fluctuations in the drain current and transconductance. The impact of process parameters on the matching properties is discussed. The impact of gate line-edge roughness is investigated, which is considered to be one of the roadblocks to the further down-scaling of the MOS transistor. Matching Properties of Deep Sub-Micron MOS Transistors is aimed at device physicists, characterization engineers, technology designers, circuit designers, or anybody else interested in the stochastic properties of the MOSFET.

Download or read book MOSFET RF Characterization Using Bulk and SOI CMOS Technologies written by Jan Saijets and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MOSFET radio-frequency characterization and modeling is studied, both with SOI CMOS and bulk CMOS technologies. The network analyzer measurement uncertainties are studied, as is their effect on the small signal parameter extraction of MOS devices. These results can be used as guidelines for designing MOS RF characterization layouts with as small an AC extraction error as possible. The results can also be used in RF model extraction as criteria for required optimization accuracy. Modifications to the digital CMOS model equivalent circuit are studied to achieve better RF behavior for the MOS model. The benefit of absorbing the drain and source parasitic series resistances into the current description is evaluated. It seems that correct high-frequency behavior is not possible to describe using this technique. The series resistances need to be defined extrinsically. Different bulk network alternatives were evaluated using scalable device models up to 10 GHz. Accurate output impedance behavior of the model requires a bulk resistance network. It seems that good accuracy improvement is achieved with just a single bulk resistor. Additional improvement is achieved by increasing the number of resistors to three. At this used frequency range no further accuracy improvement was achieved by increasing the resistor amount over three. Two modeling approaches describing the distributed gate behavior are also studied with different MOS transistor layouts. Both approaches improve the RF characteristics to some extent but with limited device geometry. Both distributed gate models describe well the high frequency device behavior of devices not commonly used at radio frequencies.

Download or read book Compact Modeling written by Gennady Gildenblat and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-06-22 with total page 531 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of the recent texts on compact modeling are limited to a particular class of semiconductor devices and do not provide comprehensive coverage of the field. Having a single comprehensive reference for the compact models of most commonly used semiconductor devices (both active and passive) represents a significant advantage for the reader. Indeed, several kinds of semiconductor devices are routinely encountered in a single IC design or in a single modeling support group. Compact Modeling includes mostly the material that after several years of IC design applications has been found both theoretically sound and practically significant. Assigning the individual chapters to the groups responsible for the definitive work on the subject assures the highest possible degree of expertise on each of the covered models.

This book was released on 2019-05-31 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: A process-based model (UFET) for deep-submicron bulk-silicon MOSFETs is developed and verified with numerical device simulations and measured data. The charge-based model is physical with accountings for the predominant short-channel (e.g., charge sharing, drain-induced threshold reduction and velocity saturation) and extremely scaled-technology (i.e., energy quantization and polysilicon-gate depletion) effects in MOSFETs. The key to UFET is the characterization of the bias-dependent two-dimensional regions near the source/ drain junctions which can extend over a significant fraction of the metallurgical channel length. When these two-dimensional regions near the junctions are modeled, the physical charge-sheet model can be applied to the remaining "quasi-two- dimensional" channel length to define the channel current and terminal charges, without resorting to empiricism to account for the short-channel effects. Special attention paid to continuity in the derivation of the model formalism yields a physical C-infinity model applicable to analog and digital CMOS circuit design. The small number of physical, process-based parameters simplifies the model calibration, and renders the model suitable for predictive device/circuit simulation, statistical simulations and circuit sensitivity analyses based on known or presumed process variations.
