Quantum Effects on the Performance of SOI Double-Gate Mosfet

Abstract:

In spite of progress in silicon technology, the end of Mosfet scaling can be anticipated for the year 2015 so the introduction of high permittivity gate dielectric is the envisaged solution to reduce the current leakage that drives up power consumption. In this paper we investigate the impact of different gate length on SOI double gate MOSFET when SiO2 is replaced by ZrO2 as the gate dielectric using Nextnano Simulator. The impact of the quantum effects also observed on performance parameters of the DG-MOSFET such as on current, off current, drain induced barrier lowering, and sub-threshold. It is observed that less EOT with high permittivity reduces the tunnel current and serves to maintain high drive current.
