[paper] Characterization of ultrathin FDSOI devices using subthreshold slope method

Teimuraz Mchedlidze1, and Elke Erben2
Characterization of ultrathin FDSOI devices using subthreshold slope method
Phys. Status Solidi A. Accepted Manuscript
DOI: 10.1002/pssa.202000625

1 TU Dresden, Germany
2 Globalfoundries, Dresden, Germany

Abstract: The subthreshold current-voltage (subthreshold slope) characteristic of fully depleted silicon-on-insulator high-k dielectric-metal gate field-effect transistor is applied for evaluation of the interface traps located at both, the front and back channels. The proposed characterization method allows an estimation of averaged trap densities separately for the front and the back interfaces of the channel. Performing subthreshold slope measurements at several temperatures allow the extraction of the energy distributions of the interface trap densities for both interfaces and obtaining essential characteristics of the stack.

(200, 300 and 400K) a group of curves contains data for eight k values
(k = 0 to 3 with step 0.5 and kOC; solid curve).

In0.3Al0.7As/InAs/InSb/In0.3Al0.7As In this paper, we performed a Pseudo-morphic High Electron Mobility Transistors (pHEMT) In0.3Al0.7As/InAs/InSb/In0.3Al0.7As using commercial TCAD. RF and analog electrical characteristics are assessed under high temperature effect. The impact of the temperature is evaluated referring to a device at room temperature. In particular, the threshold voltage (Vth), transconductance (gm), and Ion/Ioff ratio are calculated in the temperature range of 300K to 700K. The primary device exhibits a drain current of 950mA, a Vth of -1.75V, a high value of gm of 650 mS/mm, Ion/Ioff ratio of 1E6, a transition frequency (fT) of 790GHz, and a maximum frequency (fmax) of 1.4THz. The achieved results show that increasing temperature act to decrease current, reduce gm, and Ion/Ioff ratio. In more detail high temperature causes a phonon scattering mechanism happening that determine in turn a reduced drain current and shift positively the threshold voltage resulting in hindering the device DC/AC capability.

[paper] Verilog-A Ion Sensitive FET for pH Sensor

Modeling of Ion Sensitive Field Effect Transistor for pH Sensor using Verilog-A

RACISP-2012 at: BKBIET, Pilani

Abstract: ISFET semiconductor technology enables the design of true solid state pH sensor. An ISFET can be modeled by considering it as two fully uncoupled stages: an electronic stage i.e., the MOSFET which is the starting structure of the ISFET and an Electro-chemical stage i.e., the electrolyte–insulator interface which is pH dependent. This paper describes the modeling of ISFET for pH measurement using Verilog A which is compatible with cadence environment. Any change in pH directly affects the threshold voltage of ISFET. To measure this change in pH, ISFET is configured in such a way so that change in threshold voltage can be directly detected. For this purpose a sensing read-out has been designed using Gate complementary ISFET/MOSFET pair (CIMP) technique. Simulated result shows good linearity between output voltage of sensing readout circuit with pH variation for the range of 1 to12. The ISFET is thermally instable due to semiconductor properties and pH dependency on temperature, which in turn affects the pH reading of the solution at a temperature other than room temperature with slope of +0.69mV/0C, +1.25mV/0C and +1.60mV/0C respectively for pH= 4, for pH=7 and for pH=10.

[paper] Editorial Special Section on ESSDERC

IEEE TED, Vol. 67, No. 11, November 2020

Mid-September 2020, we were supposed to celebrate in Grenoble the 50th anniversary of the European SolidState Device Research Conference and European Solid-State Circuits Conference (ESSDERC-ESSCIRC), which is the most important European conference dedicated to solid-state devices and circuits. However, in April 2020, more than one-third of the global population was under severe lock-down as a result of the protective public health measures imposed by the different governments, states, or provinces. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the ESSDERC-ESSCIRC organizing and steering committees, together with the sponsoring SSCS and EDS IEEE societies, decided to reschedule the in-person conference to September 6–9, 2021, in Grenoble, to add new virtual “Educational Events” held on September 14 and 15, 2020 (presentations available till October 16, 2020, at https://www.esscirc-essderc2020.org/) as well as to invite the ESSDERC-ESSCIRC research community to submit publications to the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON ELECTRON DEVICES (TED) and to the IEEE SOLID-STATE CIRCUITS LETTERS (SSC-L), respectively, in a brief format. All of these initiatives met great success. Especially, more than 47 TED submissions were received and reviewed, and 32 papers were accepted and have been included in this dedicated section of the November TED issue.

We would like to thank all the authors for taking this opportunity to keep the ESSDERC-ESSCIRC momentum, all the IEEE reviewers for their reactivity, and all the ESSDERC-ESSCIRC sponsors for their trust in this difficult time. Let us think with a positive mind, and acknowledge that this experience opens a new and fruitful collaboration between ESSDERC and TED.

We hope you will enjoy reading these high-quality papers. Stay safe

Capable to calculate the lattice constant of monolayer, trace different types of defects, and strain. Optimizer provides flexibility to optimize initial conditions with EpiGrow Simulator and run design of experiments over the computer.

 FullBand Simulator:   Full Band Simulator is powerful tool, extends the empirical pseudopotential method to include semiconductors with the zincblende as well as wurtzite structures and simulates electronic band structures with appropriate pseudopotential form factors chosen from the reported reputed references for binary alloy semiconductor materials and interpolate the pseudopotential form factors for ternary alloy semiconductor materials to simulate the full electronic band structures of ternary materials. The bowing of band energies and their deformation potentials is included inside simulator in form of alloy disorder. Capable to simulate the full electronic band structures for the lattice constant of monolayer provided by users. Different types of physical parameters e.g. carrier velocity, effective mass and density of states can be easily tracable on the full electronic band structures of the chosen materials. Provides flexibility to users to chose lattice constant and analyse the full electronic band structures over computer.

 Hall Mobility Simulator: Hall Mobility Simulator is powerful tool, simulates carriers transport on full energy band. The microscopic simulation of the motion of individual particles in the presence of the forces acting on them due to external fields as well as the internal fields of the crystal lattice and other charges in the system. In solids, such as semiconductors and metals, transport is known to be dominated by random scattering events due to impurities, lattice vibrations, etc. has been inputted through Monte Carlo technique, which randomize the momentum and energy of charge particles in time. Hence, stochastic techniques to model these random scattering events are particularly useful in describing transport in semiconductors, in particular the Monte Carlo method. Provides flexibility to users to initialize the carriers over full energy band and analyze the transport of carrier to simulate the ensemble velocity of carriers under external electromagnetic forces on computer.

 MC Particle Device Simulator: World's Fastest Monte Carlo Particle Device simulator includes transport model solution with a self -consistent Boltzmann-Poisson equation and a GUI based feature helps users to select device geometry and doping density in 2D and 3D. The different carrier scattering mechanisms has major influence on the performance of device output and dependent on the density of states (DOS) in each valley which can be accurately inputted through full band structure. The effect of equilibrium states of carrier before start of free flight of carrier has been incorporated in term of inclusion of depletion region through movement of the ensemble of carriers under influence of external electrostatic field obtained by solving the Poisson equation. The quantum confinement effect includes density gradient approach and effective potential approach for computation of quantum confinement effects on the carrier transport under influence of external forces. Particle Device Simulator (PDS) is exploited for unipolar as well as bipolar semiconductor technologies based devices including MOSFET, Multigate FETS, HEMT and P-N junction devices.

[paper] TFT for Mixed Signal and Analog Computation

Eva Bestelink, Olivier de Sagazan, Lea Motte, Max Bateson, Benedikt Schultes, S. Ravi P. Silva,
and Radu A. Sporea
Versatile Thin‐Film Transistor with Independent Control of Charge Injection and Transport
for Mixed Signal and Analog Computation
Adv. Intell. Syst.. (2020) pp.1-9, DOI:10.1002/aisy.202000199 

Abstract: New materials and optimized fabrication techniques have led to steady evolution in large area electronics, yet significant advances come only with new approaches to fundamental device design. The multimodal thin-film transistor introduced here offers broad functionality resulting from separate control of charge injection and transport, essentially using distinct regions of the active material layer for two complementary device functions, and is material agnostic. The initial implementation uses mature processes to focus on the device’s fundamental benefits. A tenfold increase in switching speed, linear input–output dependence, and tolerance to process variations enable low-distortion amplifiers and signal converters with reduced complexity. Floating gate designs eliminate deleterious drain voltage coupling for superior analog memory or computing. This versatile device introduces major new opportunities for thin-film technologies, including compact circuits for integrated processing at the edge and energy-efficient analog computation.

Figure: Outcomes of separating control for injection and conduction shown via TCAD simulation. a) MMT transient response is much faster than conventional contact-controlled TFTs
b) A MMT with multiple, appropriately sized CG1 gates can function as a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with CG2 providing an enabling, sampleand-hold (S/H) function.
