Summary: Experimental results show the response of 22 nm fully depleted silicon on insulator (FDSOI) transistors to 10 keV x-rays. The extracted coupling factor between the front- and back-gates of the device exhibits a non-linear dependence on total ionizing dose (TID). A new model is proposed to account for the depletion region in the well under the buried oxide, resulting in a revised coupling factor that fits well to experimental data and simulations.

Summary: This article discusses the correlation between the performance of high-frequency integrated circuits and the analog and high-frequency characteristics of transistors, the quality of the back-end line process, and the electromagnetic properties of the substrate. It also explores the potential applications of partially depleted and fully depleted SOI MOSFETs in wireless communication systems, as well as summarizes recent research on FD SOI switches and low-noise amplifiers. The article also discusses the potential interest and challenges of transitioning from standard resistivity FD SOI substrates to high resistivity ones.

Summary: An ultralow loss LIGBT model with improved reverse recovery characteristic is proposed and investigated by simulations. The model features a self-adaptive pMOS and double floating ohmic contacts (FOC) (named as SPF LIGBT). It achieves an ultrafast switching speed and low turn-off loss (E-OFF) by controlling the gate potential and acting as a recombination metal electrode.

Summary: In this study, the reliabilities and inner mechanisms of high-voltage silicon-on-insulator lateral insulated gate bipolar transistors (SOI-LIGBTs) under repetitive electro-static discharge (ESD) stresses were comprehensively investigated for better application in high-voltage circuits. It was found that the worst repetitive ESD stress occurred when the SOI-LIGBT was snapbacked with the turn-ON of the parasitic transistor. The ON-state voltage (V-on) and collector-to-emitter current density (J(ce)) decreased as the stressing times due to hot-hole injection and interface states generation. To mitigate the degradation of J(ce), a P-top layer structure was proposed and fabricated, which showed effective improvement in reducing the hot-carrier effects.

Summary: This study examines the subthreshold swing (SS) in a silicon gate-all-around (GAA) nanowire MOSFET with zero body factor and a fully depleted (FD) SOI MOSFET at temperatures ranging from room temperature (RT) down to 4 K. The research finds that the SS of both transistors decreases in proportion to temperature, but starts to saturate below 18K, similar to transistors with non-zero body factor as seen in literature. It indicates that the body factor is not related to the SS saturation phenomena at very low temperatures.

Summary: Researchers developed a model to predict the sensor response to changes in capacitance and/ or charge at the sensing surface, guiding future device design. Experimental results showed that the model effectively captures the trends of charge signals and capacitance signals on the sensing surface, with some deviation at lower capacitances.

Summary: Analytical models of Ta2O5, Si3N4, and SiO2-gated ISFET-based sensors were developed and analyzed using MATLAB(R) and LTspice. The effects of sensing gate material, gate thickness, aspect ratio, temperature, and matrix on ISFET's performance were investigated. The simulation results showed that Ta2O5-gated ISFET had high current and voltage sensitivity, while Si3N4 and SiO2-gated ISFETs had non-uniform sensitivity to pH changes. Ta2O5-gated ISFET also exhibited less sensitivity to matrix changes compared to Si3N4 and SiO2-gated ISFETs. Thus, Ta2O5-gated ISFETs are recommended for sensitive sensing applications.

Summary: By introducing trench barriers in the SA structure, a novel fast-switching silicon-on-insulator lateral insulated gate bipolar transistor (SOI LIGBT) is proposed in this study, which eliminates the snapback effect while retaining the ability to extract unbalanced electrons. Compared to traditional LIGBT, the proposed device shows improved performance in terms of forward voltage drop and turn-off time.

Summary: In this study, the effects of X-ray radiation on n-type FDSOI MOSFETs with high-k dielectric were investigated. It was found that short-channel devices exhibited lower sensitivity to irradiation and showed a 38% increase in effective electron mobility after X-ray irradiation. Additionally, the degradation mechanism on X-ray irradiation was revealed through analysis of carrier mobility, gate length modulation, and S/D parasitic resistance.

Summary: Achieving sub-60 mV/decade subthreshold swing in short channel Negative Capacitance Field Effect Transistor (NCFET) devices requires the utilization of a thicker Ferroelectric (FE) layer. However, undesired effects such as Hysteresis and Negative Differential Resistance (NDR) may be seen in the device characteristics due to the interplay between the thickness and polarization gradient of the FE material. In this study, a Fully Depleted Silicon-on-insulator (FDSOI) baseline architecture is used to show an NDR-free output characteristic by utilizing a drain-sided Paraelectric (PE) spacer, reducing drain doping, and splitting the gate stack into two halves with Ferroelectric and Paraelectric materials on the source-sided and drain-sided stack respectively. This approach enables the incorporation of a thicker FE layer without Hysteresis in the transfer characteristics, while maintaining high Gain (gm/gds) and sub-60 mV/decade subthreshold swing at lower supply voltages.

Summary: Hydrogen ion sensors (pH sensors) with high sensitivity and stability have great potential in various fields. In this research, an ion-sensitive field-effect transistor (ISFET) based on SnO2 and paired with a high selectivity Al2O3 inorganic insulating film was used to enhance pH sensitivity. The study showed that the sensitivity of the ISFET-based pH sensor with an extended gate was significantly increased compared to a sensor without an extended gate, and the stability and response time were greatly improved.

Summary: The sensitivity of AlGaN/GaN ISFETs as pH sensors was improved through gate recess process and ammonium hydroxide treatment. XPS analysis revealed that nitrogen vacancies introduced during the recess process led to a negative V-T shift, which could be improved by ammonium hydroxide treatment, resulting in enhanced current sensitivity of the pH sensor.
