Dopant-segregated Schottky (DSS) source/drain MOSFETs have become popular in recent years to address this series resistance issue, since DSS source/drain regions comprise primarily of metal or metal silicide. The small source/drain extension (SDE) regions extending from the metallic contact regions are an important design parameter in DSS MOSFETs, since their size and concentration affect contact resistance, series resistance, band-to-band tunneling (BTBT), SDE tunneling, and direct source-to-drain tunneling (DSDT) leakage. This work investigates key design issues surrounding DSS MOSFETs from both a modeling and experimental perspective, including the effect of SDE design on ambipolar leakage, the effect of random dopant fluctuation (RDF) on specific contact resistivity, 3D FinFET source/drain and contact design optimization, and experimental methods to achieve tuning of the SDE region. It is found that DSS MOSFETs are appropriate for thin body high performance (HP) and low operating power (LOP) MOSFETs, but not low standby power (LSTP) MOSFETs, due to a trade-off between ambipolar leakage and contact resistance. It is also found that DSDT will not limit DSS MOSFET scalability, nor will RDF limit contact resistance scaling, at the end of the CMOS roadmap. Furthermore, it is found that SDE tunability in DSS MOSFETs is achievable in the real-world, for an implant-to- silicide (ITS) process, by employing fluorine implant prior to metal deposition and silicidation. This is found to open up the DSS process design space for the trade-off between SDE junction depth and contact resistance. Si1-xGex process technology is also explored, and Ge melt processing is found to be a promising low-cost alternative to epitaxial Si1-xGex growth for forming crystalline Si1-xGex films. Finally, a new device structure is proposed, wherein a bulk Tri-Gate MOSFET utilizes high-k trench isolation (HTI) to achieve enhanced control over short channel effects. This structure (the HTI MOSFET) is shown, through 3D TCAD modeling, to extend bulk 1 LSTP scalability to the end of the CMOS roadmap. In a direct performance comparison to FinFETs, the HTI MOSFET achieves competitive circuit delay. ____________________________________ Professor Tsu-Jae King Liu Committee Chair 2 To my teachers i Table of Contents Chapter 1: Introduction………………………………………………….…………….…1 1.1 Moore’s Law is a Byproduct…………………………………………………....1 1.2 Motivation for Alternative Device Structures…………………………………..5 1.3 Dissertation Objectives and Outline…………………………………………….7 1.4 References……………………………………………………………………….9 Chapter 2: FinFET Source/Drain Design Optimization.........................................11 2.1 Introduction……………………………………………………………………..11 2.2 LSTP Design Study……………………………………………………………..12 2.2.1 Simulation Setup………………………………………………………..13 2.2.2 Effect of NSDE on Leakage……………………………………………....16 2.2.3 Effect of LSDE on Leakage………………………………………………19 2.2.4 Effect of NSDE and LSDE on ION………………………………………….20 2.2.5 Effect of VDD on ION…………………………………………………….21 2.2.6 LSTP Performance Comparison of DSS and RSD Structures………….22 2.3 HP Design Study………………………………………………………………..23 2.3.1 Effect of Silicide Gating on DSS FinFET Performance………………..24 2.3.2 3-D Contact Optimization for RSD FinFETs…………………………..26 2.3.3 DSS vs. RSD FinFET AC Performance………………………………..28 2.3.4 Recessed Strap (RS) DSS FinFETs…………………………………….31 2.4 Summary………………………………………………………………………..35 2.5 References……………………………………………………………………....35 Chapter 3: Sub-10 nm Double Gate MOSFET Design…………………………...41 3.1 Introduction……………………………………………………………………..41 3.2 Modeling Approach…………………………………………………………….41 3.3 Effect of SDE Junction Abruptness…………………………………………….43 3.4 Effect of Schottky Barrier Height………………………………………………44 3.5 Effect of Gate Sidewall Spacers………………………………………………..46 3.6 Effect of Gate Dielectric………………………………………………………..48 3.7 Effect of Silicide Gating………………………………………………………..49 3.8 Delay Optimization…………………………………………………………….53 3.9 Summary……………………………………………………………………….57 3.10 References……………………………………………………………………...57 Chapter 4: The Effect of Random Dopant Fluctuations on Specific Contact Resistivity……………………………………………………………………..60 4.1 Introduction…………………………………………………………………….60 4.2 Modeling Approach……………………………………………………………60 ii 4.3 Analytical Model Derivation…………………………………………………....62 4.4 Modeling Results………………………………………………………………..69 4.5 Summary………………………………………………………………………...72 4.6 References…………………………………………………………………….....72 Chapter 5: High-k Trench Isolation as an Alternative to FinFETs for Ultimate Scalability……………………………………………………………………...74 5.1 Introduction……………………………………………………………………..74 5.2 Device Structure and Modeling Approach……………………………………...74 5.3 Conventional Bulk Tri-Gate vs. HTI Tri-Gate MOSFET……………………....76 5.4 FinFET vs. HTI Tri-Gate MOSFET………………………………………….…78 5.4.1 Drain Current Normalization in the HTI MOSFET………………….…80 5.4.2 Pitch-Constrained DC Design Optimization……………………....…....81 5.4.3 Pitch-Constrained AC Design Optimization…………………………....83 5.5 Summary………………………………………………………………………...86 5.6 References…………………………………………………………………….....86 Chapter 6: Implant-to-Silicide Process Technology…………………………….…88 6.1 Introduction………………………………………………………………….…..88 6.2 DSS Diode Fabrication………………………………………………….………89 6.3 DSS SDE Formation Using ITS………………………………………….……..89 6.4 Diode Capacitance-Voltage Analysis…………………………………….……..94 6.5 Diode Current-Voltage Analysis………………………………………………..98 6.6 DSS MOSFET Fabrication……………………………………………………..100 6.7 DSS MOSFET Electrical Results………………………………………………101 6.8 Summary………………………………………………………………………..105 6.9 References………………………………………………………………………105 Chapter 7: Silicon Germanium Process Technology……………...........................110 7.1 Introduction…………………………………………………………………..…110 7.2 LPCVD of In-Situ Doped N- and P-Type Si1-xGex at 425 ºC…………………..111 7.3 SPER of LPCVD Si1-xGex Films……………………………………………….118 7.4 Ge Melt Processing……………………………………………………………..121 7.5 Summary………………………………………………………………………..126 7.6 References………………………………………………………………………126 Chapter 8: Conclusions…………………………………………………………………..129 8.1 Summary………………………………………………………………………..129 8.2 Future Research Prospects……………………………………………………...130 8.3 Conclusions……………………………………………………………………..131 iii Acknowledgements Many people struggle to find their path in life. For some, they cannot figure out how best to use their gifted mind. For others, they face the torture of one self-delusion after another, always thinking they have reached happiness but never actually feeling it. Some people stumble upon their passion, while for others it is force fed. I was one of those strange individuals who is just plain-old curious, and my pursuit of answers led me to my current position in life. I have been fortunate enough to meet along the way countless wonderful individuals who, knowingly or not, have shaped my life and my ambitions. First on the list is my Ph.D. advisor, Prof. Tsu-Jae King Liu. I cannot say enough good things about her, and the praise she has endured from me and others is enough to fill a book. Few if any can match her technical prowess, and even fewer have the respect she has rightfully earned throughout her career. Her personal and professional advice will always remain with me, and her responsiveness, her professionalism, and her trust in me has been invaluable throughout my time here at UC Berkeley. I am also grateful to Prof. Chenming Hu for his generosity and for the interesting discussions we have had. He has always managed to ask interesting questions about my research and, despite his remarkable knowledge, he is always open to new ideas. I would also like to thank Prof. Junqiao Wu for serving on my qualifying exam and dissertation committees, as well as Prof. Sayeef Salahuddin for serving on my qualifying exam committee, both of whom have provided valuable feedback. I would like to thank all UC Berkeley Microlab staff for their hard work in keeping such a lively, borderline chaotic lab running smoothly. I would especially like to thank Bob Hamilton, Sia Parsa, Jimmy Chang, Danny Pestal, and Evan Stateler for their assistance with Tystar 19, GCAWS6, and Centura MXP. I would also like to thank Prof. Eugene Haller and his students – Swanee Shin and Christopher Liao – for their assistance with TEM analysis and understanding the Ge melt process.

    (1) Application Report SLUA770A–March 2016–Revised May 2018 UCC27531 35-V Gate Driver for SiC MOSFET Applications Richard Herring........................................................................................... High Power Driver Solutions ABSTRACT SiC MOSFETs are gaining popularity in many high-power applications due to their significant switching performance advantages. SiC MOSFETs are also available with attractive voltage ratings and current capabilities. However, the characteristics of SiC MOSFETs require consideration of the gate-driver circuit to optimize the switching performance of the SiC device. Although SiC MOSFETs are not difficult to drive properly, many typical MOSFET drivers may result in compromised switching speed performance. The UCC27531 gate driver includes features and has operating parameters that allow for driving SiC power MOSFETs within the recommended optimum drive configuration. This application note reviews the characteristics of SiC MOSFETs and how to drive them to achieve the performance improvement that SiC can bring at the system level. The features of UCC27531 to achieve optimal performance of SiC are explained and results from a demonstration circuit are provided. 1 Introduction In the past, the majority of applications such as uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), photovoltaic (PV) inverters, and motor drive have utilized IGBTs for the power devices due to the combination of high- voltage ratings exceeding 1 kV and high current capability. Usable switching frequency of IGBTs has typically been limited to 20–30 kHz, due to the high turnoff losses caused by the long turnoff current tail. Design comparisons have shown that SiC MOSFET designs can operate at considerably higher switching frequency and achieve the same or better efficiency. Although the device cost of the SiC MOSFETs are higher than the equivalent IGBTs, the significant savings in transformer, capacitor, and enclosure size results in a lower system cost.

  • Circuit Optimisation Using Device Layout Motifs
    Circuit Optimisation using Device Layout Motifs Yang Xiao Ph.D. University of York Electronics July 2015 Abstract Circuit designers face great challenges as CMOS devices continue to scale to nano dimensions, in particular, stochastic variability caused by the physical properties of transistors. Stochas- tic variability is an undesired and uncertain component caused by fundamental phenomena associated with device structure evolution, which cannot be avoided during the manufac- turing process. In order to examine the problem of variability at atomic levels, the `Motif ' concept, defined as a set of repeating patterns of fundamental geometrical forms used as design units, is proposed to capture the presence of statistical variability and improve the device/circuit layout regularity. A set of 3D motifs with stochastic variability are investigated and performed by technology computer aided design simulations. The statistical motifs compact model is used to bridge between device technology and circuit design. The statistical variability information is transferred into motifs' compact model in order to facilitate variation-aware circuit designs. The uniform motif compact model extraction is performed by a novel two-step evolutionary algorithm. The proposed extraction method overcomes the drawbacks of conventional extraction methods of poor convergence without good initial conditions and the difficulty of simulating multi-objective optimisations. After uniform motif compact models are obtained, the statistical variability information is injected into these compact models to generate the final motif statistical variability model. The thesis also considers the influence of different choices of motif for each device on cir- cuit performance and its statistical variability characteristics. A set of basic logic gates is constructed using different motif choices.

  • Design, Implementation, Modeling, and Optimization of Next Generation Low-Voltage Power Mosfets
    Design, Implementation, Modeling, and Optimization of Next Generation Low-Voltage Power MOSFETs by Abraham Yoo A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Materials Science and Engineering University of Toronto © Copyright by Abraham Yoo 2010 Design, Implementation, Modeling, and Optimization of Next Generation Low-Voltage Power MOSFETs Abraham Yoo Doctor of Philosophy Department of Materials Science and Engineering University of Toronto 2010 Abstract In this thesis, next generation low-voltage integrated power semiconductor devices are proposed and analyzed in terms of device structure and layout optimization techniques. Both approaches strive to minimize the power consumption of the output stage in DC-DC converters. In the first part of this thesis, we present a low-voltage CMOS power transistor layout technique, implemented in a 0.25µm, 5 metal layer standard CMOS process. The hybrid waffle (HW) layout was designed to provide an effective trade-off between the width of diagonal source/drain metal and the active device area, allowing more effective optimization between switching and conduction losses. In comparison with conventional layout schemes, the HW layout exhibited a 30% reduction in overall on-resistance with 3.6 times smaller total gate charge for CMOS devices with a current rating of 1A. Integrated DC-DC buck converters using HW output stages were found to have higher efficiencies at switching frequencies beyond multi-MHz. ii In the second part of the thesis, we present a CMOS-compatible lateral superjunction FINFET (SJ-FINFET) on a SOI platform. One drawback associated with low-voltage SJ devices is that the on-resistance is not only strongly dependent on the drift doping concentration but also on the channel resistance as well.

In contrast, GaN is young in IGBT replacements in power management its life cycle, and will see significant improvement applications enables many new products that in the years to come. promise to add great system value. In general, an eGaN transistor behaves much like a power MOSFET with a quantum leap in performance, but to extract all of the newly-available eGaN transistor performance requires designers to understand the differences in drive requirements. eGaN Power Transistor Characteristics As with silicon power MOSFETs, applying a positive bias to the gate relative to the source of an eGaN power transistor causes a field effect, which attracts electrons that complete a Figure 1.
