Comparative Study of Negative Capacitance Field-Effect Transistors with Different MOS Capacitances

摘要

We demonstrate the negative capacitance (NC) effect of HfZrOx-based field-effect transistors (FETs) in the experiments. Improved IDS, SS, and Gm of NCFET have been achieved in comparison with control metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) FET. In this experiment, the bottom MIS transistors with different passivation time are equivalent to the NC devices with different MOS capacitances. Meanwhile, the electrical properties of NCFET with 40 min passivation are superior to that of NCFET with 60 min passivation owing to the good matching between CFE and CMOS. Although SS of sub-60 mV/decade is not achieved, the non-hysteretic transfer characteristics beneficial to the logic applications are obtained.
