The recessed gate IGBT has a lower on-state voltage drop compared with the DMOS IGBT, because there is no JFET resistance. But because of the electric field concentration in the corner of the gate edge, the breakdown voltage decreases. This paper is about the new structure to effectively improve the Vce(sat) voltage without breakdown voltage drop in 1700V NPT type recessed gate IGBT with p floating shielding layer. For the fabrication of the recessed gate IGBT with p floating shielding layer, it is necessary to perform the only one implant step for the shielding layer. Analysis on the Breakdown voltage shows the improved values compared to the conventional recessed gate IGBT structures. The result shows the improvement on Breakdown voltage without worsening other characteristics of the device. The electrical characteristics were studied by MEDICI simulation results.

The DC and RF characteristics of $In_{0.5}Ga_{0.5}P/In_{0.22}Ga_{0.78}As/GaAs$ p-HEMTs with a gate oxide layer of various thicknesses ($50{\;}{\AA},{\;}300{\;}{\AA}$) were investigated and compared with those of a Schottky-gate p-HEMT without the gate oxide layer. A prominent improvement in the breakdown voltage characteristics were observed for a p-HEMT having a gate oxide layer, which was implemented by using a liquid phase oxidation technique. The on-state breakdown voltage of the p-HEMT having the oxide layer of $50{\;}{\AA}$was ~2.3 times greater than that of a Schottky-gate p-HEMT. However, the p-HEMT having the gate oxide layer of $300{\;}{\AA}$ suffered from a poor gate-control capability due to the drain induced barrier lowering (DIBL) resulting from the thick gate oxide inspite of the lower gate leakage current and the higher on-state breakdown voltage. The results for a primitive p-HEMT having the gate oxide layer without any optimization of the structure and the process indicate the potential of p-HEMT having the gate oxide layer for high-power applications.

In this report, the results of a systematic study on the effects of polycrystalline silicon gate depletion on the reliability characteristics of metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) devices were discussed. The devices were fabricated using standard complimentary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) processes, wherein phosphorus ion implantation with implant doses varying from $10^{13}$ to $5{\times}10^{15}cm^{-2}$ was performed to dope the polycrystalline silicon gate layer. For implant doses of $10^{14}/cm^2$ or less, the threshold voltage was increased with the formation of a depletion layer in the polycrystalline silicon gate layer. The gate-depletion effect was more pronounced for shorter channel lengths, like the narrow-width effect, which indicated that the gate-depletion effect could be used to solve the short-channel effect. In addition, the hot-carrier effects were significantly reduced for implant doses of $10^{14}/cm^2$ or less, which was attributed to the decreased gate current under the gate-depletion effects.

Pentacene thin film transistors (OTFTs) on flexible polyimide substrate using electroplated gate electrode and organic/high-k inorganic bilayer gate dielectric layer. Incorporation of thin atomic-layer deposited $HfO_2$ layer on the PVP organic gate dielectric layer reduced the gate leakage and as a result enhanced the current on/off ratio.

Tungsten poycide has studied gate oxide reliability and dielectric strength charactristics as the composition of gate electrode which applied submicron on CMOS and MOS device for optimizing gate electrode resistivity. The gate oxide reliability has been tested using the TDDB(time dependent dielectric breakdwon) and SCTDDB (stepped current TDDB) and corelation between polysilicon and WSi$_{2}$ layer. iN the case of high intrinsic reliability and good breakdown chracteristics on polysilicon, confirmed that tungsten polycide layer is a better reliabilify properities than polysilicon layer. Also, hole trap is detected on the polysilicon structure meanwhile electron trap is detected on polycide structure. In the case of electron trap, the WSi$_{2}$ layer is larger interface trap genration than polysilicon on large POCL$_{3}$ doping time and high POCL$_{3}$ doping temperature condition. WSi$_{2}$ layer's leakage current is less than 1 order and dielectric strength is a larger than 2MV/cm.

The a-Si:H TFTs decreasing parasitic capacitance of source-drain is fabricated on glass. The structure of a-Si:H TFTs is inverted staggered. The gate electrode is formed by patterning with length of $8{\mu}m{\sim}16{\mu}m$ and width of $80{\sim}200{\mu}m$ after depositing with gate electrode (Cr) $1500{\AA}$ under coming 7059 glass substrate. We have fabricated a-SiN:H, conductor, etch-stopper and photoresistor on gate electrode in sequence, respectively. The thickness of these, thin films is formed with a-SiN:H ($2000{\mu}m$), a-Si:H($2000{\mu}m$) and $n^+a-Si:H$ ($500{\mu}m$). We have deposited $n^+a-Si:H$, NPR(Negative Photo Resister) layer after forming pattern of Cr gate electrode by etch-stopper pattern. The NPR layer by inverting pattern of upper gate electrode is patterned and the $n^+a-Si:H$ layer is etched by the NPR pattern. The NPR layer is removed. After Cr layer is deposited and patterned, the source-drain electrode is formed. The a-Si:H TFTs decreasing parasitic capacitance of source-drain show drain current of $8{\mu}A$ at 20 gate voltages, $I_{on}/I_{off}$ ratio of ${\sim}10^8$ and $V_{th}$ of 4 volts.

In this study we developed a program(DEVSIM) to simulate the two dimensional distribution of the electrostatic potential and the electric field of the arbitrary structure consisting of GaAs/AlGaAs semiconductor and metal as well as dielectric. By the comparision of the electric field distribution of GaAs MESFETs with the various recess gates we proposed a suitable device structure to improve the breakdown characteristics of MESFET. According to the results of simulation the breakdown characteristics were improved as the thickness of the active epitaxial layer was decreased. And the planar structure, which had the highly doped layer under the drain for the ohmic contact, was the worst because the highly doped layer prevented the space charge layer below the gate from extending to the drain, which produced the narrow spaced distribution of the electrostatic potential contours resulting in the high electric field near the drain end. Instead of the planar structure with the highly doped drain the recess gate structure having the highly doped epitaxial drain layer show the better breakdown characteristics by allowing the extention of the space charge layer to the drain. Especially, the structure in which the part of the drain epitaxial layer near the gate show the more improvement of the breakdown characteristics.

In this paper, we have characterized the electrical properties related to gate leakage current in AlGaN/GaN MISHFETs with varying the thickness (0 to 10 nm) of $Al_2O_3$ gate insulator which also serves as a surface protection layer during high-temperature RTP. The sheet resistance of the unprotected TLM pattern after RTP was rapidly increased to $1323{\Omega}/{\square}$ from the value of $400{\Omega}/{\square}$ of the as-grown sample due to thermal damage during high temperature RTP. On the other hand, the sheet resistances of the TLM pattern protected with thin $Al_2O_3$ layer (when its thickness is larger than 5 nm) were slightly decreased after high-temperature RTP since the deposited $Al_2O_3$ layer effectively neutralizes the acceptor-like states on the surface of AlGaN layer which in turn increases the 2DEG density. AlGaN/GaN MISHFET with 8 nm-thick $Al_2O_3$ gate insulator exhibited extremely low gate leakage current of $10^{-9}A/mm$, which led to superior device performances such as a very low subthreshold swing (SS) of 80 mV/dec and high $I_{on}/I_{off}$ ratio of ${\sim}10^{10}$. The PF emission and FN tunneling models were used to characterize the gate leakage currents of the devices. The device with 5 nm-thick $Al_2O_3$ layer exhibited both PF emission and FN tunneling at relatively lower gate voltages compared to that with 8 nm-thick $Al_2O_3$ layer due to thinner $Al_2O_3$ layer, as expected. The device with 10 nm-thick $Al_2O_3$ layer, however, showed very high gate leakage current of $5.5{\times}10^{-4}A/mm$ due to poly-crystallization of the $Al_2O_3$ layer during the high-temperature RTP, which led to very poor performances.
