Abstract

The impact of energy quantization on gate tunneling current is studied for double-gate and ultra-thin body MOSFETs. The lower vertical electric field in the channel of these thin-body devices causes a reduction in gate leakage by as much as an order of magnitude. The additional effects of channel doping and high-κ dielectrics are also investigated.
