Asymmetrical IV characteristics and junction regions in implantation defined surround gate vertical MOSFETs

Asymmetrical IV characteristics and junction regions in implantation defined surround gate vertical MOSFETs
This paper investigates the asymmetrical characteristics of junctions and their nearby regions in surround gate vertical MOSFETs. The devices have channel lengths defined by implantation, with processes to address some device performance limitations. A ‘junction stop’ process allows optimization of short channel effects by reducing the junction asymmetry but it also induces additional resistance in the top junction. The fillet local oxidation process serves to reduce overlap capacitances however it also induces asymmetry to the top and bottom junction resistances. Non-uniform interface state density down the channel results in asymmetrical subthreshold characteristic. Using a large tilt angle implantation to dope the body can also introduce asymmetry of drain field induced phenomena such as DIBL and impact ionization.

Abstract

This paper investigates the asymmetrical characteristics of junctions and their nearby regions in surround gate vertical MOSFETs. The devices have channel lengths defined by implantation, with processes to address some device performance limitations. A ‘junction stop’ process allows optimization of short channel effects by reducing the junction asymmetry but it also induces additional resistance in the top junction. The fillet local oxidation process serves to reduce overlap capacitances however it also induces asymmetry to the top and bottom junction resistances. Non-uniform interface state density down the channel results in asymmetrical subthreshold characteristic. Using a large tilt angle implantation to dope the body can also introduce asymmetry of drain field induced phenomena such as DIBL and impact ionization.
