Abstract It is the purpose of this thesis to give a detailed consideration to the behaviour of the trapezoidal gate MOSFET (TGMOSFET) and the problems associated with its modeling and simulation such as the mobility degradation, the carrier multiplication and the threshold voltage shift. On the other hand, it will be shown that TGMOSFET gives us a novel techni que for proouc ing hot carri er gate current at· small er channel current and biasing voltages which is very desired in the EEPROM and automatic offset compensation applications. Also the trapezoidal gate-form generates transversal surface field which prevents channel lateral diffusion which is required in the dynamic memory application. Oetal led analysis of free carrier density distribution. threshold voltage shift, gate current and channel depth for different channel steepness ana • different biasing conditions, are carried out. A complete simulation model has been developed, which acts as a powerful analysis tool. In this thesis, we first consider the basic characteristics of the MO SF ET devi ces and the physi ca 1 phenomena associ ated wi th thew. Thi s gives us a good foundation for the prediction of the different phenomena which are associated with the trapezoidal formed gate MOSFET. This study is included in chapter 1. In chapter 2, we present a detailed study of the characteri zati on, the concepti on. model ing of TQVOSF ET and problems associated with it. In chapter 3 we present the fl~arts of computer programs, the technique of computation and the simulation results. We also compare these results with our experimental results. We finally present our major conclusions about the present study WhiCh we have performed by using test samples (fabricated by French Thomson Semiconductor Society) and propose points for further research. |
