Enhanced Critical Electrical Characteristics in a Nanoscale Low-Voltage SOI MOSFET With Dual Tunnel Diode

This brief presents a nanoscale low-voltage partially depleted silicon-on-insulator (SOI) structure with improved electrical performance. The brain of the proposed structure is a dual tunnel diode (DTD) composed of a heavily doped p-type L-shaped trench. The accumulated holes are effectively released by the tunnel current of DTD, thus reducing the critical kink effect. Compared with a conventional SOI, the proposed structure is considered as an efficient rival in nanoscale-integrated applications.
