The MOS transistor: operation principle

Linear region (low Vds)

Electrons are attracted to SiO2Si interface => conductive layer
(channel) is created. (Psubstrate gets inverted locally).
The channel which links source
and drain and forms a resistor
between the two. Current
increases significantly with
increasing VDS
Walter Snoeys – PH ESE ME – 2011

The MOS transistor: operation principle
S
G
n+
Depletion layer
Saturation region (high Vds)
D
n+
Significant current flow and
resistive drop in the channel.
Electrons near the drain are
insufficiently attracted by the
gate, and the channel gets
pinched off. Beyond that point
increasing VDS does not
change current significantly.
Note: before inversion layer is formed already current flow = weak inversion

Mobility enhancement (K. Kuhn)
 New materials (III-V) and Ge
 High mobility but not in all valleys of the band, need to confine carriers
to high mobility valley
 Low Eg materials (eg Ge) can have higher Ioff due to band-to-band
tunneling
 Technological challenge: lattice mismatch and defect-free material
growth on Si
 Different orientations (no strain)
 On (100) PMOS best <100>, NMOS isotropic
 On (110) NMOS best <100>, PMOS best <110>
 Overall best : NMOS (100)<110>, PMOS (110) <110>
 Hetero Orientation Transistors (HOT)
 Stress and Strain : apply strain to channel to change the energy band shape
 Reduce scattering
 Enhance mobility, reduce effective mass
 Pushing carriers in valleys with low effective mass,
 Confinement
2008 Krishnamohan et al (session 36.5) PMOS
IEDM 2008 P. Packan et al. (Intel) Session 3.4
Stress improves PMOS and NMOS, but orientation change degrades NMOS
Confinement limits this degradation -> Modeling ???

Already in 2007 more NAND and NOR flash memories shipped than
DRAM in its entire history (1.9e18)
NVM now ~60 B$ market
80 000 $/GByte in 1987 (256kB unit) to 1.5 $/Gbyte (16Gbyte unit) in 2007
40% price drop per year (ahead of Moore’s learning curve of 30 % per
year)
Litho, self-aligning, nand for less space, wafer size increase…
Some ‘Partial’ 3D
Now new possibility : cross-point memory
Walter Snoeys – PH ESE ME – 2011
77
Cross-point memory
 Phase Change Memory:
heating and then quenching,
can be very small, can use
Multi-level Cell (need PNV)
and Multi-Layer Stacking.
Ultimate question is cost.
 RRAM: based on simple or
more complex oxides which
change conductive state, need
more work on reliability and
understanding of mechanism
IEEE Spectrum dec 2008
 Programmable Metallization
Cell
 Normally in combination with
switch, although recently
some without
Walter Snoeys – PH ESE ME – 2011
78
Cross-point memory
 Spin Torque Transfer RAM infinite
endurance and high speed
HYNIX
 Work to reduce cell size but there are
good perspectives (HYNIX 54 nm,
Samsung perspectives for 30nm)
 Increase cell transistor drive current
and reduce magnetic tunnel junction
switching current
IBM : yields ok for 64 Mb

CONCLUSIONS

CMOS : according to some (!)
 Bulk running out of steam (many tricks already done and
now DIBL)
 Ultra Thin Body and Buried oxide is good alternative for
some time to come

Lithography
 For 15 nm need advancement on EUV or need to work
with double pattern (in combination with computational
lithography). Ultimately a question of cost.

Special devices
 Intensive work to prepare improvement of MOS, some
things (Ge) already included

Metallization :
Walter Snoeys – PH ESE ME – 2011

CONCLUSIONS

Metallization
 need reduced parasitics but porous low k is a challenge
 3D : Some nice examples but timeline for full production
not clear. Some alternatives using capacitive or inductive
coupling.

Memories
 DRAM and NAND in nonvolatile
 NAND multilevel and vertical structures
 Crosspoint memory: Phase Change Ram, ReRam,
STTRam as most likely successors
