[special issue] on Modeling of μmWave and mmWave Electronic Devices for Wireless Systems

Guest editorial for the special issue 
on Modeling of μmWave and mmWave Electronic Devices for Wireless Systems: 
Connecting technologies to applications
Valeria Vadalà, Giovanni Crupi
First published: 27 July 2021; DOI: 10.1002/jnm.2940

The μmWave and mmWave frequencies have been historically associated with niche applications such as space and defense; however, in the last years wireless communications have caused a rapid growth of interest in mass-market applications, representing the enabling technology for the new Information Age where all “things” need to be connected. Internet of Things, Industry 4.0, and Smart Cities are portraits of this concept in different contexts, from entertainment to healthcare applications. This exciting scenario triggers the continuous increase of performance requirements such as huge bandwidth, low latency, and very high data rate of emerging wireless technologies (i.e., 5G and 6G). This special issue takes a step forward in the different branches of knowledge related to μmWave and mmWave devices, circuits, and systems, oriented to wireless applications from the device level up to the application level. From the reader's point of view, the goal is to drive to a comprehensive overview on salient aspects of these topics and to provide interesting hints to overcome the upcoming technological challenges.

[paper] Above Vth Model for SC DG MOSFETs

David Chuyang Hong; Yuan Taur
An Above Threshold Model for Short-Channel DG MOSFETs
in IEEE TED, vol. 68, no. 8, pp. 3734-3739, Aug. 2021
DOI: 10.1109/TED.2021.3092310.

Abstract: An above-threshold I–V model is developed for short-channel double-gate (DG) MOSFETs. It is a non-gradual channel approximation (non-GCA) model that takes into account the contribution to carrier density from the encroachment of source–drain bands into the channel. At low-drain bias voltages, the effect appears as a gate-voltage-dependent reduction of channel resistance, with stronger effects at low gate overdrives. At high-drain biases, the intersection of source band encroachment with the gate-controlled channel potential leads to a point of virtual cathode a small distance from the source. By incorporating the depletion of carriers in the source and drain regions into the boundary conditions, the Ids-Vds and Ids-Vgs characteristics generated by the model are shown to be consistent with TCAD simulations.

Figure below shows the schematic of a DG MOSFET (undoped). The device operation is governed by 2-D Poisson’s equation
Fig: Schematic of a DG MOSFET. The parameters assumed are tsi=4nm, ti=2nm, εsi=εi=11.8ε0, with channel length L ranging from 15 to 7nm. The gate work function is 0.28eV below that of intrinsic silicon so Vt=0.247V.
