Extremely high density CMOS technology for 40nm low power applications is demonstrated. More than 50% power reduction is achieved as a SoC chip by aggressive shrinkage and low voltage operation of RF devices. Gate density of 2100kGate/mm2 is realized by breaking down conventional trade-off of leakage power and performance with three key approaches. 0.195μm2 SRAM with excellent static noise margin ...Show More
A non-doped selective epitaxial Si channel technique has been applied to ultra-thin gate oxide CMOS transistors with TiN and polysilicon gate electrodes, and its effect on direct-tunneling gate leakage current has been investigated. It was found that the epitaxial Si channel noticeably reduces the direct-tunneling gate leakage current in both the TiN and polysilicon gate electrode cases. Improved ...Show More
The concept of future scaling-down for RF CMOS technology has been investigated in terms of f/sub T/, f/sub max/, RF noise, linearity, and matching characteristics, based on simulation and experiments. It has been found that gate width and finger length are key parameters, especially in sub-100 nm gate length generations.Show More

An 0.18-/spl mu/m CMOS technology with multi-V/sub th/s for mixed high-speed digital and RF-analog applications has been developed. The V/sub th/s of MOSFETs for digital circuits are 0.4 V for NMOS and -0.4 V for PMOS, respectively. In addition, there are n-MOSFET's with zero-volt-V/sub th/ for RF analog circuits. The zero-volt-V/sub th/ MOSFETs were made by using undoped epitaxial layer for the c...Show More
Flicker noise characteristics of 1.5 nn direct-tunneling gate oxide n- and pMOSFETs have been investigated It was confirmed that in the shorter gate length region, less than 0.2 /spl mu/m, the flicker noise decreased with the decrease in gate oxide thickness even in the direct-tunneling regime. On the contrary, it was found that with gate length larger than 0.45 /spl mu/m, the flicker noise become...Show More
For low power operation in analog CMOS, a lot of attempts using new drain structures to reduce the parasitic capacitance of the source and drain junction capacitance (Cj) have been reported. However, there are not many approaches from the channel doping process. In the usual MOSFET structures, the highly doped channel implanted regions are localized under the gate by the mask used in the channel i...Show More
We have investigated the correlation between process induced damage and RF analog characteristics. Vth matching, fmax, and NFmin were analyzed using mass data. It was found that the redistribution of channel profile due to the damage induced by ion implantation at the gate edge affects the spread of fmax and NFmin. This tendency was not apparent in the spread of fT.Show More
We introduce a 0.12 /spl mu/m nMOS technology with multi-Vth's for mixed high-speed digital and RF-analog applications. Though basically device parameter was determined by SIA roadmap, new structures such as undoped epitaxial channel and raised gate/source/drain were applied to a 0.12 /spl mu/m nMOS. This device has high fT and low noise figure which are very important for RF analog circuit design...Show More
We investigated the Diffused shield Under the Oxide (DUO) for the first time. DUO is an extremely shallow diffusion layer in the n-well under the field oxide. DUO can be formed by high energy implantation through the field oxide, and it can be formed by the process of the channel stop implant for MOSFETs simultaneously. Application of DUO provided a 79% improvement in Q-factor and the comparable s...Show More
Recently, direct tunneling gate oxide MOSFETs have shown the potential of enabling extremely high RF performance in analog applications. An excellent cutoff frequency of more than 150 GHz was reported at a gate length of less than 0.1 /spl mu/m. In this paper, RF noise characteristics of the MOSFETs are reported in detail. The gate oxide thickness and supply voltage dependencies were investigated....Show More
In order to obtain high performance analog MOSFETs, it is important to reduce gate resistance. Recently W/Ti, CoSi/sub 2/ and NiSi gate electrodes have been proposed to realize these requirements. Especially, the Co salicided T-shape gate electrode realizes easily a low gate resistance below 1.5 ohm/sq. with a small increase in the number of process steps. Additionally, short channel effects are i...Show More
Undoped epitaxial channel n-MOSFET with high transconductance was developed. In order to obtain a good crystal quality of the epitaxial layer and, thus, to achieve high performance, it is important to reduce the oxygen concentration at the epitaxial Si/Si substrate interface. In this paper, we describe the relationship between the electrical characteristics and the surface density of oxygen at the...Show More
