Abstract

A sequential layered integration technology that can fabricate 3D stackable epi-like Si FETs with and without metal back gate (MBG) under sub-400°C are proposed in this article. With laser crystallized epi-like Si and CMP thinning processes for channel fabrication, 3D stackable ultra thin body (UTB) n/p-MOSFETs with low-subthreshold swings (88 and 121 mV/dec.) and high on-currents (121 and 62 μA/μm) are demonstrated. With additional metal back gate structure, UTB devices can be desirably operated in a positive or negative threshold voltage range with γ values of 0.51 (n-MOSFETs) and 0.56 (p-MOSFETs) for favoring its applications in 3D logic circuits. In addition, such thin and high quality channel and metal back gate scheme is not only promising for conventional p-n junction device but also junctionless (JL) scheme, which can simplify the fabrication and achieve further scaling.
