Effects of Back-Gate Bias on the Mobility and Reliability of Junction-Less FDSOI Transistors for 3-D Sequential Integration
IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices(2021)
摘要
Low thermal budget junction-less transistors with back-gate are fabricated as top-tier devices for 3-D sequential integration. The impact of back-gate bias on carrier mobility and bias temperature instability (BTI) reliability is investigated. The back-gate bias is shown to modulate the carrier mobility: specifically, mobility is increased under forward back-gate bias (FBB), which is ascribed to the carrier redistribution from the front-gate interface toward back-gate interface. Regarding BTI reliability, if a back-gate bias (
${V}_{\text {BG}}{)}$
is applied only during ON-state and a constant front-gate stress
${V}_{\text {G}}$
is used, BTI reliability is not influenced by the applied
${V}_{\text {BG}}$
(due to its negligible impact on the front-gate oxide field,
${E}_{\text {ox}}{)}$
. Therefore, supplying an FBB during ON-state can be used to adjust device performance—as
${V}_{\text {BG}}$
modulates the channel current through
${V}_{\text {th}}$
and mobility—without reliability penalty. On the other hand, if the back-gate bias is applied during both ON- and OFF-states, while a constant stress
${V}_{\text {ov}}$
is maintained by adjusting the front-gate
${V}_{\text {G}}$
[i.e.,
${V}_{\text {G}}$
–
${V}_{\text {th}}{(}{V}_{\text {BG}}{)}$
is kept constant under different
${V}_{\text {BG}}$
’s], the BTI reliability can be improved under FBB (due to a reduced
${E}_{\text {ox}}$
in the front-gate) without performance loss. The latter property can be used to improve the device reliability under circuit operation.
