Abstract

To improve the characteristics of sub$\mu$m short channel MOSFET device, a new device having the convex structure is proposed. This device has 3-dimensionally expandable channel length according to the vertical etched silicon height. For the purpose of comparing the DC and AC characteristics, planar device is also fabricated. Comparing the channel length, the convex device with 0.4$\mu$m silicon height is larger about 0.56$\mu$m in NMOS and 0.78$\mu$m in PMOS than planar devices. DC characteristics, such as threshold voltage, operational current, substrate current and breakdown voltage are compared together with AC characteristics using the ring oscillator inverter delay. Also process and device simulation are performed and the differences between convex and pranaldevice are also compared.
