Scaling of features in integrated circuits has been a driving force behind the continuing growth of the semiconductor industry over the past few decades. Scaling to smaller and smaller features enables increased density of functional units to be implemented on a limited chip area of a semiconductor chip. For example, shrinking transistor size allows for the incorporation of an increased number of memory or logic devices on a chip, thereby producing products with increased capacity. However, driving larger and larger capacities is not without problems. The necessity to optimize the performance of each device becomes increasingly important.
Currently, in the fabrication of integrated circuit devices, the size of MOS devices continues to shrink in order to pursue high performance of the devices and to save the chip area occupied by each device. However, as MOS devices continue to shrink, there is a concomitant decrease in the channel length of MOS devices and a thinner tunnel oxide thickness. However, short channel effects are induced when the size of the MOS device is reduced to a certain extent. Short channel effects will cause a reduction in the control capability of the gate of the MOS device, causing a shift in the threshold voltage and a drain induced barrier lowering effect, resulting in an increase in the static power consumption of the MOS device.
