Threshold voltage model for MOSFETs with high-k gate dielectrics

Abstract

An analytic threshold voltage model, which can account for the short channel effect and the fringing field effect of sub-100 nm high-k gate dielectric MOSFETs, has been developed. The model considers the two-dimensional (2D) effect both in silicon bulk and in gate dielectric layer. The results of the model are consistent with 2D numerical simulation results.
