Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
The schottky transistor with heat sink and the fabrication process thereof according to the present invention will be described with reference to fig. 1 to 78.
As shown in fig. 1, the schottky transistor with a heat sink provided by the present invention includes a substrate 101, a source region, a drain region 4, a channel region 3, a source, a drain, and a gate.
Specifically, a source region, a drain region 4 and a channel region 3 are all disposed on the substrate 101, wherein the source region includes a first source region 1 and a metal region 2, and the metal region 2 is connected to the first source region 1; the channel region 3 is located between the metal region 2 and the drain region 4, the upper side and/or the lower side of the channel region 3 is/are provided with a gate dielectric 5, the source is arranged on the source region, the drain is arranged on the drain region 4, and the gate is arranged on the gate dielectric 5, and the first source region 1 is a heavily doped region and the drain region 4 is a heavily doped region, so that the fermi levels of the first source region 1 and the drain region 4 are in the valence band. And the doping types of the first source region 1 and the drain region 4 are opposite.
The source region is composed of a first source region 1 and a metal region 2 which are heavily doped, the metal region 2 is in contact with a channel region 3, a Schottky barrier is formed between the metal region 2 and the channel region 3, electrons in the source region are difficult to tunnel through the Schottky barrier due to the wide Schottky barrier under the condition that no gate voltage is applied, and the band gap of the first source region 1 filters the electrons injected by an external electrode, so that the hot current is greatly reduced in the band gap energy range of the first source region 1, and the corresponding off-state current is low. Under the condition of certain source-drain bias voltage, in the process of increasing the gate voltage, the Schottky barrier between the channel region 3 and the metal region 2 is pressed down, so that the Schottky barrier is thinned, when the Schottky barrier of the low-energy region is thin enough, the tunneling current can be rapidly increased, and electrons in the low-energy region of the source region tunnel through the Schottky barrier, so that the subthreshold swing amplitude is lower than 60 mV/dec.
When a gate voltage is applied, electrons in the high-energy region of the schottky barrier are reduced, and no current is generated in the high-energy region; at this time, the low energy region of the schottky barrier becomes narrow, electrons in the low energy region of the source region tunnel through the schottky barrier, and the tunneling current rapidly increases, so that the subthreshold swing is lower than 60 mV/dec.
Also, it should be noted that since the schottky barrier formed between the metal region 2 and the first source region 1 (heavily doped region) is thin and is almost an ohmic contact, the schottky barrier between the metal region 2 and the first source region 1 has little influence on the current.
Here, the cold source is realized by the junction of the first source region 1 and the metal region 2.
By the arrangement, the cold source Schottky transistor can realize relatively large on-state current relative to tunneling field effect transistors (TFTs), can realize higher switching rate relative to negative capacitance field effect transistors (NC-FETs), and does not have a hysteresis phenomenon; the device main body adopts silicon as a material, and compared with the traditional MOSFET, the whole device structure is only subjected to some correction and adjustment in a source region, namely an original N (or P) type semiconductor is changed into a structure of a P (or N) type semiconductor plus Metal (Metal), so that the compatibility degree of the device main body and the existing MOSFET in the aspects of materials and processing technology is high, and the potential of practical application is increased; compared with a P-Metal-N cold source transistor, the Schottky transistor with the cold source has no influence of electro-phonon scattering brought by an N-type part of a source region, and can realize more effective cold source injection.
In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the channel region 3 may be an intrinsic region or a lightly doped region, so that a schottky barrier formed between the channel region 3 and the metal region 2 is very wide, and electrons in the source region are difficult to tunnel through the schottky barrier without applying a gate voltage, thereby reducing a corresponding off-state current.
In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the first source region 1 may be a P-type heavily doped region, and the drain region 4 may be an N-type heavily doped region, or the first source region 1 may be an N-type heavily doped region, and the drain region 4 may be a P-type heavily doped region.
And, the doping concentration of the first source region 1 may be 1e19cm-3-1e22cm-3The length of the first source region 1 is 20nm, and the thickness of the first source region 1 is 10 nm. The doping concentration of the drain region 4 is 1e19cm-3-1e22cm-3The length of the drain region 4 is 20nm, and the thickness of the drain region 4 is 10 nm.
Here, the doping concentration of the first source region 1 may be 1e21cm-3(i.e. 1 x 10)21Per cubic centimeter), the doping concentration of the drain region 4 may be 1e19cm-3Specifically, the doping concentration of the first source region 1 and the drain region 4 may be determined according to the material of the first source region and the drain region, the material of the substrate, and the like, and may be specifically determined according to the actual situation.
In this embodiment, the channel region 3 may be a lightly doped region, and the doping concentration of the channel region 3 is 1e15cm-3The length of the channel region 3 is 20nm, and the thickness of the channel region 3 is 10 nm. Specifically, the channel region 3 may employ N-type light doping or P-type light doping depending on the work function of the metal region.
In an alternative embodiment, the material of the gate dielectric 5 may be hafnium oxide, and the thickness of the gate dielectric 5 may be 1.5 nm. In addition, the cold source Schottky transistor can comprise two grids which are respectively arranged on the two grid electrode mediums 5, so that under the action of the double grids, the grid control capacity is effectively improved, and the device can be well turned on and off.
In this embodiment, the left end of the first source region 1 is a source contact, the right end of the drain region 4 is a drain contact, and the upper and lower sides of the gate dielectric 5 are gate contacts, wherein the work function of the gate contacts may be 4.5 eV.
In some embodiments, the work function of metal region 2 may be 5eV, and the length of metal region 2 may be 10nm and the thickness of the metal region may be 10 nm. Here, the work function, the length, and the thickness of the metal region are not specifically limited, and may be specifically determined according to the actually selected material.
In this embodiment, the first source region 1 and the metal region 2 may be in horizontal contact, and the first source region 1 and the metal region 2 may also be in vertical contact or in contact along other directions (i.e., in a double-pointed contact).
In this embodiment, the substrate may be made of silicon (Si) or germanium (Ge), or a iii-V material, and the first source region may also be made of silicon (Si) or germanium (Ge), or a iii-V material, where the iii-V material includes: InSb, GaSb, InAs, AlSb, AlAs, GaAs, InGaAs, InAlAs, InP, InGaP, or the like; the material of the metal region may be Au, Co, Cu, Pd, Pt, Ti, W, TiN, NiSi2, etc.
As shown in fig. 2, the first source region 1, the metal region 2, the channel region 3 and the drain region 4 have uniform fermi levels in the absence of applied bias; as shown in fig. 3, when a voltage of 0.2V is applied to the drain and a voltage of 1V is applied to the gate, the first source region 1, the metal region 2, the channel region 3, and the drain region 4 no longer have uniform fermi levels, and quasi-fermi levels of electrons and holes are generated, the height of the schottky barrier is reduced by applying a forward bias, the diffusion motion of carriers is larger than the drift motion, a certain concentration gradient is generated by recombination of carriers in the source region after being injected into the channel region 3, and a certain concentration gradient is generated by recombination of carriers in the channel region 3 after being injected into the drain region 4, so as to form a steady distribution.
As shown in fig. 4, fig. 4 is a graph of approximate Id-Vg obtained by simulation in Sentaurus TCAD, that is, a graph of influence of gate voltage on current, and a line bent more in fig. 4 is a graph of drain current and gate voltage of a cold source schottky transistor whose source region includes a first source region 1 and a metal region 2; the relatively less bent line is a plot of source drain current versus gate voltage for a schottky transistor having a source region comprising only metal region 2. As can be seen from fig. 4, the subthreshold swing is lower than 60Mv/dec at around 0.6V, and about 3 orders of magnitude current change is achieved between 0.6V-0.7V, indicating a rapid increase in tunneling current.
It should be noted that, due to the existence of the schottky barrier, the drain current is dominated by the tunneling current rather than the thermal current, and the on-state current is lower than that of the conventional MOSFET by 1 to 2 orders of magnitude, but a better on-state current characteristic can be realized by adjusting the gate contact work function, the metal work function of the source end, the doping concentration of the first source region 1, and the like.
