9 results about "Subthreshold slope" patented technology

The subthreshold slope is a feature of a MOSFET's current–voltage characteristic. In the subthreshold region, the drain current behaviour – though being controlled by the gate terminal – is similar to the exponentially decreasing current of a forward biased diode. Therefore a plot of drain current versus gate voltage with drain, source, and bulk voltages fixed will exhibit approximately log linear behaviour in this MOSFET operating regime.

Asymmetric MOSFET Devices with Optimized Spacer Thickness

Device structures and related fabrication methods for asymmetric MOSFETs that exhibit high BVDSS and low HCl characteristics while substantially improving the poor sub-threshold slope and output resistance ROUT characteristics common to conventional asymmetric MOSFET devices. Embodiments are fabricated by implanting halo and / or LDD dopants on the source-side of an asymmetric MOSFET using at least two different non-90° twist angles, each in a different quadrant. By implanting dopant at different twist angles, dopant is implanted within otherwise shadowed corners, thus essentially eliminating the parasitic transistors within such corners. Optionally, an extra implantation of halo / LDD dopants may be performed at a 90° twist angle. As a result, a non-90°, multi-twist implanted asymmetric MOSFET exhibits improved linearity and an essentially equivalent gain characteristic compared to conventional asymmetric MOSFETs. Optionally, thick spacers may be used. The asymmetric MOSFETs are quite suitable for applications, such as power amplifiers, which require good linearity and gain characteristics.

A gallium nitride P-MOSFET transistor structure and its fabrication method

This invention relates to the field of semiconductor device technology, specifically to a gallium nitride (GaN) P-MOSFET transistor structure and its manufacturing method. The invention employs a double heterojunction epitaxial structure for device fabrication, utilizing grooved gate technology to realize an enhancement-mode GaN P-MOSFET transistor while restoring the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) channel in the gate region. Based on this, an electrical connection is established between the 2DEG channel and the device gate, introducing a back gate. Furthermore, by inserting an AlN layer on the upper or lower side of the AlGaN barrier layer, leakage current from the source to the gate is suppressed, ensuring the back gate's control over the P-type conductive channel. This invention fully utilizes the characteristics of the double heterojunction channel, realizing a back gate structure without using back-side processing, providing an effective solution for achieving P-type channel GaN transistor devices with low subthreshold slope and high on-current density.
