ABSTRACT
Conventional
lateral and vertical n-channel MOS transistors with channel length in the range of 100nm to
50nm have been systematically investigated by means of device simulation.
The comparison analysis includes critical parameters
that govern device performance. Threshold voltage VT
roll-off, leakage current Ioff, drain saturation current
IDsat and sub-threshold swing S were analyze and compared
between the device. Due to double gate (DG) structure over
the side of silicon pillar a better electrostatics potential control
of channel is obtained in vertical device shown by an analysis on
VT roll-off. A two decade higher of Ioff in planar device is observed
with Lg=50nm. A factor of three times larger IDsat
is observed for vertical MOSFETs compared to planar device. The
sub-threshold swing S remains almost the same when the Lg
larger than 80 nm. It increased rapidly when the Lg is
scaled down to 50 nm due to the short channel effect SCE. However,
the vertical device has a steady increase whereas the planar device
has suffered immediate enhance of SCE. The analysis results confirmed
that vertical MOSFET with double-gate structure is a potential solution
to overcome SCE when scaled the channel length to 50nm and beyond.

Kajian
terperinci berkenaan transistor MOS jenis-n secara menegak dan mendatar
dengan kepanjangan saluran Lg dalam lingkungan 50nm ke
100nm telah dijalankan berdasarkan pensimulasian peranti. Analisis
perbandingan meliputi parameter kritikal yang mengukur prestasi
peranti. Penurunan voltan ambang VT, arus bocoran Ioff, arus tepu salir IDsat
dan ayunan
sub-ambang S telah dianalisis dan dibanding antara peranti. Disebabkan struktur dua get (DG) di sisi tiang silikon,
kebolehupayaan elektrokstatik kawalan saluran yang baik dapat dilihat
pada peranti tegak dengan menjalankan analisis prestasi kejatuhan
voltan ambang (VT). Dua dekad lebih tinggi Ioff
dapat diperhatikan pada peranti mendatar dengan Lg=50nm.
Faktor tiga kali lebih besar IDsat diperhatikan pada
MOSFET menegak berbanding peranti mendatar. Ayunan sub-ambang S adalah hampir sama apabila Lg
besar dari 80nm. Ia menaik secara mendadak apabila Lg
diskalakan ke 50nm disebabkan kesan saluran pendek (SCE). Peranti
menegak mempunyai kenaikan yang agak sekata manakala peranti mendatar
mengalami kenaikan mendadak SCE. Keputusan analisis ini membuktikan
bahawa MOSFET menegak dengan struktur dua-get adalah penyelesaian
berpotensi bagi mengatasi SCE apabila kepanjangan saluran diskalakan
ke 50nm dan ke bawah.
