Graphene has attracted enormous interests due to its unique physical, mechanical, and electrical properties. Specially, graphene-based field-effect transistors (FETs) have evolved rapidly and are now considered as an option for conventional silicon devices. As a critical step in the design cycle of modem IC products, compact model refers to the development of models for integrated semiconductor devices for use in circuit simulations. The purpose of this review is to provide a theoretical description of current compact model of graphene field-effect transistors. Special attention is devoted to the charge sheet model, drift-diffusion model, Boltzmann equation, density of states (DOS), and surface-potential-based compact model. Finally, an outlook of this field is briefly discussed.

In this paper, a source/drain design for vertical channel nanowire FETs involving extension doping profile, spacer dielectric constant and spacer width is proposed and demonstrated by TCAD simulation. The results show that asymmetric graded lightly doped drain(AGLDD) exhibits very good SCE controllability and driving capability even with relatively large nanowire diameter. By adopting high-k spacer material and optimizing drain spacer width, preferable SCE immunity and higher overdrive current are achieved while parasitic capacitance can be maintained in an acceptable range. This scheme provides a feasible guideline for future low power vertical channel nanowire FETs design.

In this paper, the radiation response of 90 nm bulk Si MOS devices irradiated by heavy ions is experimentally studied. Due to the intrinsic random incident of heavy ions, different performance degradation is observed, such as threshold voltage shift, saturation current change and maximum transconductance degradation. These performance degradations may be attributed to the displacement damage in channel region, interface states at gate oxide interface and trapped charges in STI, which are generated by heavy ion irradiation. Furthermore, the statistical analysis on the performance degradation of 90 nm bulk Si MOS devices is also demonstrated *** results indicate that the performance variation of90 nm bulk Si MOS devices enlarges after heavy ion irradiation compared with un-irradiated ***, the standard variation of threshold voltage shift, DIBL shift and off-state leakage current degradation induced by heavy ion irradiation increases with the decrease of gate width, which should be paid more attention. The results may provide guideline for radiation-hardened design.

The 2-D limited regrowth of α-Si is proposed to achieve larger grain size and smoother surface simultaneously with conventional rapid thermal annealing process. Transmission line method is carried at room temperature and 100 K temperature separately to confirm that the boundary scattering and ionization scattering are possibly suppressed by the capping layer method due to less grain boundary and trapped ionization centers.

In this paper, nanoscale germanium(Ge) fin etching with inductively coupled plasma(ICP) equipment by Cl/BCl/Ar gas is experimentally demonstrated. The impact of Cl/BCl/Ar gas ratio on etching induced Ge surface roughness, etch rate, sidewall steepness, uniformity and layout dependence are comprehensively investigated. The surface roughness is improved by increasing Ar flow rate. A nearly vertical Ge Fin is obtained by optimizing Cl/BCl/Ar gas ratio. By using silicon oxide as hard mask, 60nm-width Ge Fin array with height of 100 nm is experimentally illustrated with high uniformity of etch depth and Fin width. Therefore, this method shows great potential for Ge-based multi-gate device fabrication.

Positive bias temperature instability stress induced interface trap density in a buried InGaAs channel metaloxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor with a InCaP barrier layer and Al2O3 dielectric is investigated. Well behaved split C-V characteristics with small capacitance frequency dispersion are confirmed after the insertion of the InCaP barrier layer. The direct-current Id-Vg measurements show both degradations of positive gate voltage shift and sub-threshold swing in the sub-threshold region, and degradation of positive △Vg in the oncurrent region. The Id-Vg degradation during the positive bias temperature instability tests is mainly contributed by the generation of near interface acceptor traps under stress. Specifically, the stress induced aeceptor traps contain both permanent and recoverable traps. Compared with surface channel InCaAs devices, stress induced recoverable donor traps are negligible in the buried channel ones.

A buck DC-DC converter with very high light load efficiency is presented in this paper. It introduces hysteretic control when the large output ripple problem is not critical, especially in light-load condition. Moreover, a fast-response zero current detector(ZCD) is adopted to make the converter work in discontinuous conduction mode(DCM). Due to hysteretic control extremely simplified the control circuits, the converter is divided into two independent loops, which further simplifies the optimization of power consumption. The proposed converter is fabricated in a standard 55 nm CMOS process. It converts 1.8-2.5 V battery voltage into a stable output voltage of 1 V, and offers 100μA to 10 mA light-load current output. The hysteretic converter achieves peak efficiency of 88.5% and 90%, with a supply voltage of 2.5 V and 1.8 V, respectively.
