Optional Reading: Pierret 4; Hu 3
Source and Drain (S/D) Structure
• To minimize the short channel effect and DIBL, we want
shallow (small rj) S/D regions  but the parasitic resistance of
these regions increases when rj is reduced.
Rsource, Rdrain  r / Wrj
where r = resistivity of the S/D regions
• Shallow S/D “extensions” may be used to effectively reduce rj
with a relatively small increase in parasitic resistance

Lecture 23, Slide 2
E-Field Distribution Along the Channel
• The lateral electric field peaks at
the drain end of the channel.
Epeak can be as high as 106 V/cm
• High E-field causes problems:
–Damage to oxide interface & bulk
(trapped oxide charge  VT shift)
–substrate current due to impact
ionization:

Lightly Doped Drain (LDD) Structure
• Lower pn junction doping results in lower peak E-field
 “Hot-carrier” effects are reduced
 Parasitic resistance is increased

• VDsat is increased to VDsat0 + IDsat (RS + RD)

Summary: MOSFET OFF State vs. ON State
• OFF state (VGS < VT):
– IDS is limited by the rate at which carriers diffuse
across the source pn junction
– Minimum subthreshold swing S, and DIBL are issues
• ON state (VGS > VT):
– IDS is limited by the rate at which carriers drift across
the channel
– Punchthrough is of concern at high drain bias
• IDsat increases rapidly with VDS
– Parasitic resistances reduce drive current
• source resistance RS reduces effective VGS
• source & drain resistances RS & RD reduce effective VDS

CMOS Technology
Need p-type regions (for NMOS) and n-type regions (for PMOS)
on the wafer surface, e.g.:
(ND)
n-well
(NA)
Single-well technology
• n-well must be deep enough
to avoid vertical punch-through
p-substrate
(NA)
p-well
Twin-well technology
• Wells must be deep enough to
avoid vertical punch-through
(ND)
n-well
p- or n-substrate
(lightly doped)

• Gate length has not scaled proportionately with device pitch
(0.7x per generation) in recent generations.
– Transistor performance has been boosted by other means.

Historical Voltage Scaling
• Since VT cannot be scaled down aggressively, the
supply voltage (VDD) has not been scaled down in
proportion to the MOSFET gate length:

Parallelism
• Computing performance is now limited by power dissipation.
This has forced the move to parallelism as the principal means
of increasing system performance.

• The greater the capacitive coupling between Gate and channel, the
better control the Gate has over the channel potential.
 lower VDD to achieve target ION/IOFF
 reduced short-channel effect (SCE) and
drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL)
