Özet

— Narrow-channel accumulated body nMOSFET devices with p-type side gates surrounding the active area have been electrically characterized between 100 and 400 K with varied side-gate biasing (Vside). The subthreshold slope (SS) and drain induced barrier lowering (DIBL) decrease and threshold voltage (Vt) increases linearly with reduced temperature and reduced side-gate bias. Detailed analysis on a 27 nm × 78 nm (width × length) device shows SS decreasing from 115 mV/dec at 400 K to 90 mV/dec at 300 K and down to 36 mV/dec at 100 K, DIBL decreasing by approximately 10 mV/V for each 100 K reduction in operating temperature, and Vt increasing from 0.42 to 0.61 V as the temperature is reduced from 400 to 100 K. Vt can be adjusted from ∼0.3 to ∼1.1 V with ∼0.3 V/V sensitivity by depletion or accumulation of the body of the device using Vside. This high level of tunability allows electronic control of Vt and drive current for variable temperature operation in a wide temperature range with extremely low leakage currents (<10−13 A).
