A Reconfigurable Field-Effect Transistor with Asymmetric Structure

Abstract

The invention discloses a reconfigurable field effect transistor with an asymmetric structure, comprises a source electrode and a drain electrode arranged on both ends of the channel, and a field effect transistor composed of a control gate electrode and a polar gate electrode respectively arranged on one side of the source electrode and the drain electrode. The polar gate electrode is provided with an underoverlapped region of a deposition side wall on the side close to the drain electrode to form a reconfigurable field effect transistor with an asymmetric structure. Compared with the prior art, the device of the invention has ideal on-state, off-state current, larger current switching ratio, steep subthreshold swing and the like. The current switching ratio is improved significantly whenthe device is of an n-FET structure compared with a p-FET structure, and the off-state current is almost the same compared with a symmetric reconfigurable transistor, so the leakage current is controlled effectively.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of transistor logic devices, in particular to a reconfigurable field effect transistor with an asymmetric structure for CMOS ultra-large integrated circuits. Background technique [0002] As the size of the device continues to shrink, its physical limit may be reached within the next decade, so new ways are needed to enhance the device function while maintaining the device size. Device-level reconfigurability promises to enable more complex circuits with lower device counts. In the past few years, some novel structures have been proposed to achieve device reconfigurability. In these reconfigurable field-effect transistors (RFETs), by applying different voltage biases to the dual gates, Adjust the polarity of the device channel carriers to realize the rotation of n-type devices and p-type devices. When the control gate voltage (VG1) is swept from a negative value to a positive value and the drain and polari...
