    Abstract

    A 2-D analytical model for the surface potential variation along the channel in fully depleted

    Dual-Material Gate silicon-on-insulator (DMG-SOI) MOSFETs is developed to investigate

    the short-channel effects. Our model includes the effects of the source/drain and body doping

    concentrations, the lengths of the gate metals and their work functions, applied drain and

    substrate biases, the thickness of the gate and buried oxide and also the silicon thin-film. We

    demonstrate that the surface potential in the channel region exhibits a step function which

    ensures the screening of the drain potential variation by the gate near the drain resulting in

    suppressed short-channel effects like the hot-carrier effect and drain-induced barrier-lowering

    (DIBL). The model is extended to find an expression for the threshold voltage in the sub-

    micron regime, which predicts a desirable roll-up in the threshold voltage with decreasing

    channel lengths. The accuracy of the results obtained using our analytical model is verified

    using 2-D numerical simulations.

    1. Introduction

    In keeping with the progress in process technology, CMOS devices have been scaled

    down continuously pushing the MOS technology into the deep-submicron era. However,

    when the channel length shrinks, the absolute value of threshold voltage becomes smaller due

    to the reduced controllability of the gate over depletion region by the increased charge

    sharing from source/drain. Therefore, the study of short-channel effects (SCEs) has assumed

    a significant role because both the threshold voltage roll-off at decreasing gate length as well

    as drain-induced barrier-lowering (DIBL) at increasing drain voltage pose a serious challenge

    to the efforts for down scaling the CMOS technology.

    Thin-film, fully-depleted silicon-on-insulator (SOI) MOSFETs offer superior

    electrical characteristics over bulk MOS devices , such as reduced junction capacitances,

    increased channel mobility, excellent latchup immunity and reduced SCEs [1]. As a

    consequence, deep-submicron SOI circuit design and simulation are increasingly becoming

    important in VLSI technology research. In contrast to the bulk device, the front gate of the

    SOI device has better control over its active device region in the thin-film and hence charge

    sharing effects from source/drain regions are substantially reduced. However, the thin-film

    thickness has to reduce to the order of 10 nm to significantly improve the device

    performance, which becomes prohibitively difficult to manufacture and causes large device

    external resistance due to shallow source/drain extension (SDE) depths

    Long et al [2] recently demonstrated that the application of dual-material gate (DMG)

    in bulk MOSFET leads to a simultaneous transconductance enhancement and suppression of

    short-channel effects due to the introduction of a step function in the channel potential. In a

    DMG-MOSFET, the work function of metal gate 1 (M1) is greater than metal gate 2 (M2)

    i.e., M1 > M2 for an n-channel MOSFET and vice-versa for a p-channel MOSFET.

    However, the effects of the DMG structure have not been studied so far in the case of SOI

    MOSFETs which play an important role in the present day CMOS design. The aim of this

    work is, therefore, to study for the first time the potential benefits offered by the DMG gate in

    suppressing the short-channel effects in SOI MOSFETs using two-dimensional modeling. In

    this paper an analytical short-channel model for a fully depleted DMG-SOI MOSFETs is

    presented by solving the 2-D Poisson equation. The model is used to calculate the surface

    potential distribution in the SOI thin-film under the two metal gates and explain the unique

    attributes of the DMG structure in suppressing the short-channel effects like hot-carrier

    effect, DIBL and threshold voltage Vth roll-up in SOI-MOSFETs. This model thus

    provides an efficient tool for design and characterization of the novel DMG-SOI MOSFET.

    The effects of varying device parameters can easily be investigated using the simple models

    presented in this work. The model results are verified by comparing them with the 2-D

    simulated results from MEDICI [3].

    2. Two-Dimensional Model for the Surface Potential

    A schematic cross-sectional view of a fully depleted SOI MOSFET is shown in Fig.1

    with gate metals M1 and M2 of lengthsL1 andL2, respectively. Assuming that the impurity

    density in the channel region is uniform and the influence of charge carriers and fixed oxide

    charges on the electrostatics of the channel can be neglected, the potential distribution in the

    silicon thin-film, before the onset of strong inversion can be written as [4]

    i.e., the y-dependence of ( ),x y can be approximated by a simple parabolic function as

    proposed by Young [4] for fully depleted SOI MOSFETs.

    where ( )S x is the surface potential and the arbitrary coefficients ( )1c x and ( )2c x are

    functions ofx only.

    In a conventional SOI-MOSFET, the gate is made of only one material, but in the

    DMG structure, we have two different materials with different work functions, which are

    amalgamated together laterally. Therefore, the flat-band voltage for the two gates would be

    different, as it depends upon 1M and 2M , the metal work functions of M1 and M2,

    respectively, which are given as

    In the DMG structure, since the gate is divided into two parts, the potential under gate

    regions M1 and M2, can be written as

    The above two equations are useful in examining how the drain side electric field is modified

    by the DMG structure.

    3. Two-dimensional Threshold Voltage Model for the DMG FD SOI MOSFET

    The threshold voltage thV is that value of the gate voltage GSV at which a conducting

    channel is induced at the surface of SOI MOSFET. In a fully depleted thin-film SOI, it is

    desirable that the front channel turns on before the back channel. Therefore, the threshold

    voltage is taken to be that value of gate source voltage for which ,min 2S F = , where F is

    the difference between the extrinsic Fermi level in the bulk region and the intrinsic Fermi

    level. In the case of DMG structure, due to the co-existence of metal gates, M1 and M2, with

    different work functions, the surface potential minima is solely determined by the metal gate

    with higher work function. So the threshold voltage is defined as the value of GSV at which

    the minimum surface potential 1,minS equals 2 F . Hence we can determine the value of

    threshold voltage as the value of GSV by solving (16).

    In Fig. 2, the calculated and simulated values of surface potential are plotted against

    the horizontal distance x in the channel for channel lengths of 0.1 m and 0.2 m at

    different drain voltages. It can be seen from the figure that due to the presence of the dual-

    material gate, there is no significant change in the potential under the gate M1 as the drain

    bias is increased even for channel lengths upto 100 nm. Hence, the channel region under M1

    is screened from the changes in the drain potential, i.e., the drain voltage is not absorbed

    under M1 but under M2. As a consequence, DSV has only a very small influence on drain

    current after saturation and the drain conductance is reduced. It is evident from the figure

    that the shift in the point of the minimum potential is almost zero irrespective of the applied

    drain bias. This is a clear indication that the DIBL effect is considerably reduced for the

    DMG-SOI MOSFET. The model predictions correlate well with the simulation results

    proving the accuracy of our proposed analytical model.

    In Fig. 3, the electric distribution along the channel near the drain is shown for SMG

    and DMG-SOI MOSFETs with a channel length L = 0.4 m. It is evident from the figure

    that the presence of a lower function gate at the drain side reduces the peak electric field

    considerably. This reduction of the electric field experienced by the carriers in the channel

    can be interpreted as the reduction of the hot-carrier effect at the drain end. As shown in the

    figure, the results from the analytical model are in close proximity with the simulation results.

    Fig. 4 shows the variation of surface potential with the normalized channel position

    for different combination of gate lengths L1 andL2of M1 and M2, respectively, keeping the

    sum of total gate length, (L1+L2),to be constant. It is seen from the figure that the position of

    minimum surface potential, lying under M1 is shifting toward the source as the length of gate

    M1 is reduced. This causes the peak electric field in the channel to shift more towards the

    source end and thus there is a more uniform electric field profile in the channel. Moreover, it

    is observed that the channel potential minima for the three cases are not the same. This

  • 8/14/2019 Two-Dimensional Analytical Modeling of Fully Depleted Dual-Material Gate (DMG) SOI MOSFET and Evidence for Di

    11/26

    11

    happens because as L1 increases, a portion of the channel controlled by the gate metal with

    larger workfunction [6] is increased.

    The variation of the front-channel minimum potential as a function of channel length

    L (=L1+L2) for fully depleted DMG-SOI with silicon thin-film thickness tSi = 100 nm and 50

    nm is shown in Fig. 5. In the case of DMG-SOI MOSFET, the dependence of minimum

    channel potential on the thin-film thickness can be more effectively reduced by decreasing tSi

    as compared to the SMG-SOI MOSFETs. This is due to the existence of a workfunction

    difference in the case of DMG-SOI MOSFETs. The validity of model for the minimum

    surface potential under the gate for different combinations ofL1 and L2 ofM1 and M2 is

    verified by the close match between the analytical results and the 2-D simulation results[3].

    In Figure 6, the calculated values of threshold voltage as a function of channel-length

    are compared with those obtained from 2-D simulation [3] extracted from the commonly used

    maximum transconductance method for two different values of L1. It is seen from Figure

    6(a) that the threshold voltage obtained from the analytical model tracks the simulation

    values very well but with an insignificant negative offset of approximately 90 mV whereas

    the offset is nearly 20-50 mV for Figure 6(b). This small discrepancy between analytical and

    simulated VT values is due to the two different definitions of threshold voltage used for

    comparison viz., 2F and max. gm. As is often done in literature, in our model we have used

    s = 2F as the threshold condition while MEDICI calculates the threshold voltage from the

    maximum gm condition. The model results compared with simulation data, however, justify

    the validity of the model for channel lengths well up to 100 nm and as can be discerned from

    the figures, the predictions are in line with MEDICI results.

    In Figure 7, the effect of gate-workfunction engineering on the threshold voltage is

    shown for a fully depleted DMG-SOI MOSFET of channel lengthL (=L1+L2) 0.5 m for two

    different ratios ofL1andL2. It is evident that with the increasing workfunction difference,

  • 8/14/2019 Two-Dimensional Analytical Modeling of Fully Depleted Dual-Material Gate (DMG) SOI MOSFET and Evidence for Di

    12/26

    12

    threshold voltage increases but, for the same workfunction difference a higher L1/L2 ratio

    leads to a corresponding increase in threshold voltage. This is due to the increasing

    proportion of channel lengthL, under the larger workfunction gate M1.

    5. Conclusions

    For the first time, we have examined the effectiveness of the Dual-Material-Gate

    structure in fully depleted SOI MOSFETs to suppress short-channel effects by developing a

    2-D analytical model for surface potential and threshold voltage and comparing the results

    with accurate MEDICI [3] simulations. The calculated values of the surface potential in the

    silicon thin-film obtained from the proposed model agree well with the simulated results.

    Our results unambiguously establish that the introduction of the DMG structure in a fully

    depleted SOI MOSFET leads to subdued short-channel effects due to a step-function in the

    channel potential profile. The shift in the surface channel potential minima position is

    negligible with increasing drain biases. The electric field in the channel at the drain end is

    also reduced leading to reduced hot-carrier effect. Also, the variation of the minimum

    channel potential with decreasing thin-film thickness can be more effectively reduced in the

    DMG structure at shallow thin film thicknesses. Further, it is clearly seen that the DMG

    structure gives rise to the desirable threshold voltage roll-up with decreasing channel

    lengths. Thus, the introduction of the DMG structure opens up a new avenue to improve the

    short-channel behavior of the SOI MOSFETs over their single gate SOI and the bulk

    counterparts.

    One of the difficulties in integrating DMG structure in the present CMOS technology

    maybe the increased constraint on lithography due to its asymmetric gate structure. Zhou [5]

    suggested two fabrication procedures requiring only one additional mask step for realizing

    the DMGFET in bulk CMOS technology. Wong et al. demonstrated a DMG-HFET using the

    method of tilt angle evaporation (TAE) [2]. With the CMOS processing technology

    aggressively pushing forward, fabricating sub-100 nm feature gate lengths should not

    preclude the possibility of realizing the substantial performance gains over conventional SOI

    and excellent immunity against SCEs that the DMG-SOI MOSFET promises.
