Book Description
Fully Depleted Silicon-On-Insulator provides an in-depth presentation of the fundamental and pragmatic concepts of this increasingly important technology. There are two main technologies in the marketplace of advanced CMOS circuits: FinFETs and fully depleted silicon-on-insulators (FD-SOI). The latter is unchallenged in the field of low-power, high-frequency, and Internet-of-Things (IOT) circuits. The topic is very timely at research and development levels. Compared to existing books on SOI materials and devices, this book covers exhaustively the FD-SOI domain. Fully Depleted Silicon-On-Insulator is based on the expertise of one of the most eminent individuals in the community, Dr. Sorin Cristoloveanu, an IEEE Andrew Grove 2017 award recipient "For contributions to silicon-on-insulator technology and thin body devices." In the book, he shares key insights on the technological aspects, operation mechanisms, characterization techniques, and most promising emerging applications. Early praise for Fully Depleted Silicon-On-Insulator "It is an excellent written guide for everyone who would like to study SOI deeply, specially focusing on FD-SOI." --Dr. Katsu Izumi, Formerly at NTT Laboratories and then at Osaka Prefecture University, Japan "FDSOI technology is poised to catch an increasingly large portion of the semiconductor market. This book fits perfectly in this new paradigm [...] It covers many SOI topics which have never been described in a book before." --Professor Jean-Pierre Colinge, Formerly at TSMC and then at CEA-LETI, Grenoble, France "This book, written by one of the true experts and pioneers in the silicon-on-insulator field, is extremely timely because of the growing footprint of FD-SOI in modern silicon technology, especially in IoT applications. Written in a delightfully informal style yet comprehensive in its coverage, the book describes both the device physics underpinning FD-SOI technology and the cutting-edge, perhaps even futuristic devices enabled by it." --Professor Alexander Zaslavsky, Brown University, USA "A superbly written book on SOI technology by a master in the field." --Professor Yuan Taur, University of California, San Diego, USA "The author is a world-top researcher of SOI device/process technology. This book is his masterpiece and important for the FD-SOI archive. The reader will learn much from the book." --Professor Hiroshi Iwai, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, Taiwan From the author "It is during our global war against the terrifying coalition of corona and insidious computer viruses that this book has been put together. Continuous enlightenment from FD-SOI helped me cross this black and gray period. I shared a lot of myself in this book. The rule of the game was to keep the text light despite the heavy technical content. There are even tentative FD-SOI hieroglyphs on the front cover, composed of curves discussed in the book." Written by a top expert in the silicon-on-insulator community and IEEE Andrew Grove 2017 award recipient Comprehensively addresses the technology aspects, operation mechanisms and electrical characterization techniques for FD-SOI devices Discusses FD-SOI's most promising device structures for memory, sensing and emerging applications

Silicon-on-Insulator Technology: Materials to VLSI
Author: J.-P. Colinge
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9781402077739
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 392
Book Description
Silicon-on-Insulator Technology: Materials to VLSI, Third Edition, retraces the evolution of SOI materials, devices and circuits over a period of roughly twenty years. Twenty years of progress, research and development during which SOI material fabrication techniques have been born and abandoned, devices have been invented and forgotten, but, most importantly, twenty years during which SOI Technology has little by little proven it could outperform bulk silicon in every possible way. The turn of the century turned out to be a milestone for the semiconductor industry, as high-quality SOI wafers suddenly became available in large quantities. From then on, it took only a few years to witness the use of SOI technology in a wealth of applications ranging from audio amplifiers and wristwatches to 64-bit microprocessors. This book presents a complete and state-of-the-art review of SOI materials, devices and circuits. SOI fabrication and characterization techniques, SOI CMOS processing, and the physics of the SOI MOSFET receive an in-depth analysis. Silicon-on-Insulator Technology: Materials to VLSI, Third Edition, also describes the properties of other SOI devices, such as multiple gate MOSFETs, dynamic threshold devices and power MOSFETs. The advantages and performance of SOI circuits used in both niche and mainstream applications are discussed in detail. The SOI specialist will find this book invaluable as a source of compiled references covering the different aspects of SOI technology. For the non-specialist, the book serves an excellent introduction to the topic with detailed, yet simple and clear explanations. Silicon-on-Insulator Technology: Materials to VLSI, Third Edition is recommended for use as a textbook for classes on semiconductor device processing and physics at the graduate level.

Transient Floating-Body Effects for Memory Applications in Fully-Depleted SOI MOSFETs

Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
Memory devices based on floating-body effects (FBE) in Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) technology are among the most promising candidates for sub-100nm and low power Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM). This new type of DRAMs, called Zero-Capacitor RAM (Z-RAM), uses only one transistor in partially-depleted (PD) SOI technology and takes advantage of FBE which have been considered as parasitic phenomena until now. The Z-RAM programming principles are based on the threshold voltage VTH variations induced by the excess or lack of majority carriers in the floating body. In this dissertation, a new floating-body effect, the Transient Floating Body Potential Effect (TFBPE), based on the body majority carriers non-equilibrium and on the dual dynamic gate coupling in standard fully-depleted (FD) SOI MOSFETs is presented for the first time. The TFBPE occurs in a specific gate bias range and can induce strong hysteresis of the gate and drain current characteristics although the FD SOI transistors are usually known to be immune against the FBE and their aftermaths. Adapted from the same physics principles as in the drain current hysteresis, that we called the Meta-Stable Dip (MSD) effect, a new concept of one-transistor capacitor-less memory was also proposed, the Meta-Stable DRAM (MSDRAM) which is dedicated for double-gate operations. All the experimental results and physics interpretations were supported by 2D numerical simulations. A 1D semi-analytical model of the body potential for non-equilibrium states was also proposed. For the first time, this original body-potential model takes into account the majority carriers density variations, i.e., the quasi-Fermi level non-equilibrium versus a transient gate voltage scan in a FD MOS device.
