Abstract

Field-effect transistors (FETs) with junctionless (JL) channels have recently attracted much attention for various applications, such as metal-oxide semiconductor thin-film transistors (TFTs) [1], memory devices [2] and Si nanowire TFTs [3, 4]. The Si junctionless (JL) transistors employing high dopant concentration (> 1019 cm3) in the source, drain, and nano-scaled channel have been demonstrated to provide excellent electrical characteristics. More recently, film profile engineering (FPE) concept for fabricating downscaled ZnO and IGZO TFTs [5, 6] have been proposed to obtain high-on/off current ratio and great subthreshold swing. Nevertheless, it emphasizes a significant issue of source/drain (S/D) series resistance on the downscaled device performance that needs to be further verified. In this work, electrical performance of downscaled N-type Si JL TFTs with FPE channel and conventional ones will be compared with each other by Sentaurus technology computer aided design (TCAD) simulation [7].
