Simplified analysis of body-contact effect for MOSFET/SOI

A simplified experimental analysis of the body-contact effect and its impact on drain current reduction is carried out to clarify the relevant parameters for MOSFET/SOI design. In the experiments, body contacts in the source are distributed in a mosaic configuration. The empirical relationship between drain current and the number of body contacts is obtained. The relationship suggests that there must be a sufficient number of body contacts to suppress the kink effect to avoid reduction in drain current.<
