Abstract

An explicit charge-based compact model for lightly doped FinFETs is proposed. This design-oriented model is valid and continuous in all operating regimes (subthreshold, linear, and saturation) for channel lengths (L) down to 25 nm, Fin widths (W-Si) down to 3 mn, and Fin heights (H-Si) down to 50 nm with a single set of parameters. It takes short-channel effects, subthreshold slope degradation, drain-induced barrier lowering, drain saturation voltage with velocity saturation, channel length modulation, and quantum mechanical effects into account.

MOSFET

The metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET, MOS-FET, or MOS FET) is a type of field-effect transistor (FET), most commonly fabricated by the controlled oxidation of silicon. It has an insulated gate, the voltage of which determines the conductivity of the device. This ability to change conductivity with the amount of applied voltage can be used for amplifying or switching electronic signals. A metal-insulator-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MISFET) is a term almost synonymous with MOSFET.

Threshold voltage

The threshold voltage, commonly abbreviated as Vth or VGS(th), of a field-effect transistor (FET) is the minimum gate-to-source voltage (VGS) that is needed to create a conducting path between the source and drain terminals. It is an important scaling factor to maintain power efficiency. When referring to a junction field-effect transistor (JFET), the threshold voltage is often called pinch-off voltage instead.

Field-effect transistor

The field-effect transistor (FET) is a type of transistor that uses an electric field to control the flow of current in a semiconductor. FETs (JFETs or MOSFETs) are devices with three terminals: source, gate, and drain. FETs control the flow of current by the application of a voltage to the gate, which in turn alters the conductivity between the drain and source. FETs are also known as unipolar transistors since they involve single-carrier-type operation.
