CHAPTER1: INTRODUCTION
This chapter illustrates the significant background information about the invention
of Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor(MOSFET)and its scaling. A
concise review of MOSFET devices developed and investigated for more than last
five decade is also presented. In this chapter, the state of art of the multi gate
MOSFET devices and challenges in nano scale MOSFETs has also been presented.
The concept of a device in which, the current through a semiconducting channel
could be controlled by a perpendicular electric field was originally proposed by
Lilienfeld in 1930 [Lilienfeld30] as a device namely “Method and apparatus for
controlling electric currents”. In today’s electronics, this device is known as Field
Effect Transistor (FET). But due to the presence of very high-density surface states
which traps free carriers and shields the semiconductor underneath the surface from
the gate field, the device performance was poor and could not be available
commercially [Schwierz10]. However, this was the first forward step towards
microelectronics after the vacuum tube devices. After the initial start by Lilienfeld,
the first amazing technological invention in the field of semiconductor resulted as
“Bipolar Junction Transistor” at “Bell Labs” by a team of three scientist John
Bardeen, Walter Brattain, and William Shockley in 1947 [Cressler16]. This three-
terminal semiconductor transistor was a versatile invention. The invention of BJT
resulted in the form of the first transistor based computer TRADIC (Transistor
digital Computer) in 1954 which was faster, reliable and much smaller in size than
the vacuum tubes based first electronic computer ENIAC (Electronic Numerical
Integrator And Computer) in 1943.
The switching losses in BJT which is a bipolar device meaning conduction carried
out simultaneously by electrons and hole is very high with very poorperformance.
However, as an amplifier, it is an ultimate semiconductor device. The Metal Oxide
Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET) is the central component of all
modern electronic gadgets and Integrated Circuit’s (IC’s). After the invention of
MOSFET, the first IC and first CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide
Semiconductor) was demonstrated in 1961 and 1963.
Integrated Circuit had advanced with doubling the number of on-chip MOSFETs in
every generation, reducing the physical device size. Scaling is the major factor
behind it. It has attracted many possibilities of novel structures and MOSFET
devices. But scaling poses many challenges on device performance as it enters into
the nanometer regime. It causes threshold voltage variation, increases the body-bias
effect and many other detrimental effects.
Also, in short channel device, the fabrication complexity increases as it becomes
difficult to form a steep source/drain and channel junctions. Thus, to conquer these
challenges, novel device architectures are needed in order to guarantee the ultimate
scaling in device dimensions simultaneously maintaining the performance expected
from the scaling.

The trend of MOSFET scaling is shown in figure 1.01. However, the trend
of miniaturization and its associated benefits will continue while the
performance can be addressed depending on the individual application,
sustained by the incorporation into devices of new materials, and the application
of new transistor concepts.

1.1 MOSFET:
A Metal-oxide Semiconductor(silicon) Field-Effect Transistor, also known as
MOSFET is an essential electronic device that is widely used in digital andanalog
devices. It is a semiconductor device that controls electrical current with
high
accuracy. It is used to switch or amplify voltage in a circuit.

1.2 SHORT CHANNEL EFFECTS:DEVICE MINIATURIZATION /SCALI NG CHALLENGES
In general, the dependency ofthe threshold voltage ofa MOSFET should be least on
the channel length. But as the length of the channel reduces, charge sharing
between the source and drain region increases, that leads to significant field
penetration from the drain-to-source region . The potential barrier at the source is
lowered,resultinginincreasedflowofcarriers,givingrisetohighersub-threshold drain
current. Consequently, the sub-threshold leakage occurs. This results in the
reduction of the threshold voltage. Furthermore, the field penetration lines
from drain affect the concentration of carriers in the channel and degrade the
device threshold voltage. Thus the threshold voltage roll-off of MOSFET is
generally described as the reduction in threshold voltage with the reduction
in channel length. Figure 1.03 shows the schematic view of the depletion
region in the channel for long and short channel devices.

CARRIERVELOCITYSATURATION(IMPACTIONIZATION AND
HOT CARRIER EFFECT)
The velocity of majority carriers in the channel saturates at high electric field due
to mobility reduction. To maintain the same electric field in short channel
MOSFET as in long channel MOSFET constant field scaling is a suitable
approach because in constant field scaling all parameters are equally scaled
to maintain the same electric fields. However, all the scaling trends may not follow
through constant field scaling techniques [Taur98]. For example, the oxide
thickness is more scaled as compared to supply voltages. This results in an
increased electric field in the nano scale MOSFET. At high electric field in short
channel MOSFETs, various scattering mechanism like phonon scattering and
coulomb scattering occur. The velocity of carriers is directly proportional to the
electric field (v=μE).At the high electric field, the carriers velocity reaches up
to a critical value and at that condition, the velocity of the carriers tends to
saturate. But, in a nano scale MOSFET, velocity saturation is observed at much
lower drain voltages, resulting in a decreased ON current which reduces
transconductance and degrades other analog/RFperformance of the device. The
graphical representation of carrier velocity saturation is shown in figure 3.

GATEOXIDELEAKAGE
As the device dimension reduces the oxide thickness is also scaled down. Silicon
Dioxide (SiO2) and Aluminium Oxide (Al2O3) are good insulators used as a gate
dielectric in MOSFET. But, the thickness of the oxide can not be reduced
arbitrarily because for the gate oxide thickness less than 2 nm, the carrier
can surmount the barrier of silicon and oxide interface. After surmounting the
barrier through tunnelling they will be collected by the gate terminal
causing an undesirable gate current or oxide leakage current. The graphical
representation of oxide tunnelling has been shown in figure 4. To minimize
these setbacks some device engineering techniques has been proposed and
investigated.

resistanceoriginatesinshortchannelMOSFETsduetothesmallercontactareaof the

thickness of the device also reduces to maintain the W/L ratio of MOSFET and
thus the series source resistance (RS) and series drain resistance (RD)
becomes noticeable fraction of the channel resistance (Rch) and can no longer be
neglected.

CHAPTER 4: CONCLUSION
The impact of temperature on Schottky barrier MOSFETs involves changes in carrier mobility,
threshold voltage, and leakage current. Elevated temperatures generally result in increased
electron mobility, potentially improving device performance. However, it can also lead to
higher leakage currents due to enhanced thermal generation of carriers. Understanding these
temperature effects is crucial for optimizing Schottky barrier MOSFET designs for
specific applications.
