Performance Analysis of GaAs DG-JLMOSFET: Impact of Gate Oxide and Its Thickness

In this paper, the gate oxide material and its thickness both are varied in a GaAs based double gate junctionless MOSFET (DG-JLMOSFET) to observe how this proposed model mitigates short channel effects (SCEs) and ensures reduced OFF-state leakage current with larger ON-state current. Five different types of oxide materials are used for the simulation among which TiO

has shown tremendous improvement in all aspects. Also, for the first time, the performance of DG-JLMOSFET has been analyzed by varying the thickness of the oxide material. Here, SIL V ACO ATLAS TCAD simulation tool was used for all simulations. For the DG-JLMOSFET, with the increase of the dielectric constant of gate oxide material while decreasing the thickness of the gate-oxide improves SCEs with subthreshold slope (SS) and drain induced barrier lowering (DIBL) of 69.81 mV/dec and 54.21 mV/V respectively and a high ON-state to OFF-state current ratio (I
