    [review] TCAD Simulations of Semiconductor Piezoresistance

    Takaya Sugiura, Kazunori Matsuda*, Nobuhiko Nakano
    Review: Numerical Simulations of Semiconductor Piezoresistance for Computer-Aided Designs

    Abstract: The field of piezoresistance has mainly advanced through experimental research; however, the improved accuracy of simulations and the emergence of new materials have increased the importance of simulations in this field. This review discusses the methods and current topics related to simulations of piezoresistive devices. Advancing simulation modeling will facilitate the computer-aided design of piezoresistive devices, and this review introduces the means of establishing these models by discussing the current studies on simulations and calculations in this field. Two simulation methods currently exist namely, device simulations and first-principles theoretical analysis. This review focuses on numerical simulation approaches for modeling of the piezoresistive effect using the multiphysics simulations of the mechanical and electrical behaviors of piezoresistive materials.

    Strategies for Characterization and Parameter Extraction of Vertical Junction-Less Nanowire FETs Dedicated to Design Technology Co-Optimization
    H02-1863 (Invited) at 243rd ECS Meeting and SOFC-XVIII 
    Boston, MA, May 29 - June 2, 2023

    Abstract: In the era of emerging computing paradigms and artificial neural networks, hardware and functionality requirements are in the surge. In order to meet low power and latency criteria, new architectures for in-memory computing are being explored as alternatives to traditional von Neumann machines, which requires technological breakthrough at the semiconductor device level such as vertical gate-all-around junctionless nanowire field effect transistors (VNWFET), that can address many process challenges such as downscaling, short-channel effects, compactness and electrostatic control. Its integration in the mainstream design flow is not straightforward and requires design technology co-optimization (DTCO) at an early stage. This invited paper explores strategies for accurate characterization and parameter extraction of the VNWFETs to feed the DTCO compact models

    [paper] FDSOI Threshold Voltage Model

    Novel Approach to FDSOI Threshold Voltage Model Validated at Cryogenic Temperatures

    Abstract: The paper presents a novel approach to to the modeling of the back-gate dependence of the threshold voltage of Fully Depleted Silicon-On-Insulator (FDSOI) MOSFETs down to cryogenic temperatures by using slope factors with a gate coupling effect. The FDSOI technology is well-known for its capability to modulate the threshold voltage efficiently by the back-gate voltage. The proposed model analytically demonstrates the threshold voltage as a function of the back-gate voltage without the pre-defined threshold condition, and it requires only a calibration point, i.e., a threshold voltage with the corresponding back-gate voltage, front- and back-gate slope factors, and work functions of front and back gates. The model has been validated over a wide range of the back-gate voltages at room temperature and down to 3 K. It is suitable for optimizing low-power circuits at cryogenic temperatures for quantum computing applications
