Fabrication and Characterization of Stacked Poly-Si Nanosheet With Gate-All-Around and Multi-Gate Junctionless Field Effect Transistors
Abstract
Present work demonstrates the vertically double stacked nanosheet (NS) p-channel polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) junctionless field-effect transistors (JL-FET) with tri-gate, omega-gate, and gate all around (GAA) structure. These structures offer more W <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">eff</sub> per existing footprint and better parallel resistance, resulting in smaller total resistance. Also, the GAA stacked NS device shows superior electrical properties, including high Ion/Ioff ratio (> 10 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">8</sup> ), steep subthreshold swing (SS) = 100 mV/dec, very low drain-induced-barrier-lowering (DIBL) = 0.127 mV/V and usually off at Vg = 0 V, owing to superior gate controllability. More, the 3D TCAD simulation has applied for analysis of physical characteristics of the proposed devices.
