access icon free Negative capacitance δ-bulk planar junctionless transistor for low power applications

The impact of substrate doping on the short-channel effects (SCEs) of bulk-planar junctionless transistor (BPJLT) has been studied. It has been found that increasing substrate doping in bulk region reduces off-state leakage current (I OFF) and the sub-threshold slope (SS) of the device. To further reduce the SCEs of BPJLT heavily doped δ-layer of thickness 10 nm has been added below the channel. Despite the presence of δ-layer in BPJLT reduces SCEs, the SCE, mainly SS, is still limited by the fundamental limit of 60 mV/decade. Therefore, to reduce SS below 60 mV/decade, negative capacitance (NC) δ-BPJLT has been proposed by adding the layer of ferroelectric material at gate stack. It has been found that in comparison with conventional BPJLT and δ-BPJLT, the insertion of ferroelectric layer in NC-δ-BPJLT not only reduces the I OFF and the SS but also improves I ON/I OFF ratio of the device. Thus, embedding heavily doped δ-layer in the bulk region and the ferroelectric layer at the gate stack of BPJLT makes it a promising device for low-power applications.
