[paper] p-Type Doped Silicene-based

Abstract: Moore’s Law is approaching its end as transistors are scaled down to tens or few atoms per device, researchers are actively seeking for alternative approaches to leverage more-than-Moore nanoelectronics. Substituting the channel material of a field-effect transistors (FET) with silicene is foreseen as a viable approach for future transistor applications. In this study, we proposed a SPICE-compatible model for p-type (Aluminium) uniformly doped silicene FET for digital switching applications. The performance of the proposed device is benchmarked with various low-dimensional FETs in terms of their on-to-off current ratio, subthreshold swing and drain-induced barrier lowering. The results show that the proposed p-type silicene FET is comparable to most of the selected low-dimensional FET models. With its decent performance, the proposed SPICE-compatible model should be extended to the circuit-level simulation and beyond in future work.

[paper] Tunneling Current in Ultrashort-Channel Nanosheet MOSFETs

Abstract:This work analyzes the impact of doping concentration on the temperature-dependent subthreshold current and swing saturation due to direct source-to-drain tunneling (DSDT) in short-channel silicon nanosheet (SiNS) metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs). Furthermore, their influence on the drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL) effect is investigated. Special attention is paid to the importance of the Fermi level and the average tunneling energy, whose energetic positions and distance from each other in the band diagram has a significant role in the temperature-dependent saturation behavior of the subthreshold current and swing, as well as the value of DIBL. Furthermore, we model and present with device simulation the existence of two merging subthreshold swings (Ssth) and DIBL effects with increasing gate bias at cryogenic temperatures. The merging is achieved by the superposition of the DSDT and thermionic emission (TE) current, which originate from their own dominated and visibly separated gate-bias regions.
