Abstract:
P-type Schottky barrier Ge nanowire transistors modulated with dopant segregated regions are proposed and studied. The impact of dopant segregated regions on device performance is simulated and investigated with numerical tools. It is revealed that dopant segregation is beneficial to increasing drive current and better utilizing nanowire channel. The OFF-state current is effectively suppressed with high dopant concentration, and the phenomena in the minimum current curves are carefully reinterpreted with carrier transport mechanisms. It is also shown that the dopant segregated regions with moderate length and high concentration can achieve high ON/OFF ratio and low subthreshold slope. Furthermore, we find that the subthreshold slope of long segregation length is insensitive to source/drain barrier heights, and that moderate segregation length helps to obtain lower subthreshold slope as channel length is scaled down.
