Figure 13 and Figure 14, which is shown, to be indicated when using in rf applications during service life in transistor relative to hot current-carrying The docking ontology of son injection links the figure of the influence to the identical transistor device linked with ontology.This is by monitoring in RF function Under rate stress as amplifier output transistor operation, have and identical transistor without docking ontology connection being consolidated The variation of the bias current under bias input voltages is determined to measure.Figure 13 shows the crystal indicated for linking without ontology The case where managing (floating transistor) due to the reduced figure of bias current at any time caused by hot carrier in jection.From Figure 13 Figure can be seen that hot carrier in jection and cause bias current gradually to drift about and reduce at any time.This may cause use again The undesirable performance of the RF amplifier of such transistor device.In contrast, showing for Figure 14 is worked as in the same terms Identical transistor (identical transistor) with ontology connection when lower operation will not show bias current and change with time.It should As a result it shows, docking ontology connection of the invention is to be produced at any time in transistor channel due to hot carrier in jection phenomenon Raw minority carrier charge of the electron provides effective outlet.It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that according to this public affairs as represented by Figure 14 Open the superior function of the docking ontology connection of content, and will be understood that such curve for docking ontology connection transistor can By the importance of property and designed capacity.
Figure 15 A shows expression for gate bias voltage Vg=0.5 volt and transistor width WG=10 μm, docking is originally Body links the total grid capacitance of measurement standardization of transistor (T2) with the identical transistor (T1) for not having ontology connection (floating body) The figure of Cgg.Figure 15 B shows the figure for indicating the measurement standard Cdg for the identical transistor/condition of figure with Figure 15 A.Such as By attached drawing or Figure 15 A and Figure 15 C as it can be seen that total capacitance is only slightly increased, and is measured in the case where increasing ontology connection Cdg is actually lower.
Figure 16 A to Figure 16 B, which is shown, to be indicated to link the f to transistor according to the docking ontology of present disclosureTFrequency and fmaxThe comparison diagram of the influence of frequency.Figure 16 A shows the f for floating body transistorTDatagram (figure at top) and for docking Three kinds of different configuration of f of ontology connection transistorTDatagram, floating body transistor and docking ontology connection transistor are in its other party Face is identical (for example, identical channel length and width).Such as by the figure of Figure 16 A as it can be seen that observing fTThe slightly reduction of frequency.This The increased C obtained by the visible docking ontology connection configuration of such as Figure 15 D can be attributed toGSCapacitor.Figure 16 B is shown pair The case where datagram of Ying Yuyu Figure 16 A identical transistor/condition fmaxDatagram.Such as by the datagram of Figure 16 B as it can be seen that fmaxFollow visible f in the figure of Figure 16 ATReduce, without further deteriorating.
Figure 17 shows indicate the comparison according to the present invention for docking the influence that RF power amplifier is applied in ontology connection Figure.As it is known by the man skilled in the art, a quality factor of RF power amplifier are to be also known as ACLR in given level Peak power under the Adjacent Channel Power Ratio (ACPR) of (adjacency channel leakage ratio) increases efficiency (PAE).Line in RF application Property degree and frequency requirement do not allow using conventional T gridistor or H gridistor.However, it is possible to use according to this The docking ontology of invention links configuration, because by previous figure as it can be seen that it does not increase drain-gate capacitance CDG, and also add compared with Few total grid capacitance CGG.Therefore, by the figure of Figure 17 as it can be seen that there is the ACLR for the transistor for docking ontology connection due to crystal Pipe reaches compression (compression) before increase, and ACLR is sufficiently low.In Figure 17 originally for identical floating body device and docking Body coupler shows the typical curve of ACLR.Note that two transistors have less than -40dBc, until fast due to compression The increased ACLR of speed.For the device size and bias condition of broad range, float arrangement and docking ontology connection configuration are mentioned For being less than the ACLR (dB relative to corresponding RF carrier wave) of -40dBc.
Higher bias voltage can permit transistor and operate at higher output power Pout, until transistor reaches Compression can enable to realize higher inclined so passing through docking ontology and linking the higher breakdown voltage that transistor provides Set voltage and therefore at higher Pout to the operation of transistor.Figure 18 shows expression under relatively high voltage bias The gain of identical floating body transistor and docking ontology connection transistor under identical biasing and the datagram of Pout.By Figure 18 Datagram as it can be seen that docking ontology coupler can operate under higher power before entering compression, compression passes through increasing The reduction of benefit is (sagging) to be indicated.
As known to those skilled in the art, lower bias current (Ibias) reduces the function lost in transistor Rate, the power are the power of waste and therefore reduce the efficiency of transistor.It is operated when under high bias voltage and high RF power When, the voltage of the body regions of transistor may due to generation carrier and increase.For floating body device, as discussed above Shown in warpage in Figure 11 B, body potential increases.In the case where docking ontology coupler according to the present invention, these productions Raw carrier is removed via provided ontology protruding portion conducting channel.RF is applied, due to the sheet of floating body transistor The increase of bulk potential, therefore bias current can increase with the increase of power, especially for being shown to be increased The region that influences of body potential (warpage) in cause the operating condition of transient operation, and transistor is linked for docking ontology, Bias current still shows well.This is shown in Figure 19.
