In this paper, the threshold voltage analysis of junctionless nanowire transistor (JNT) due to radiation/ process/stress/hot-carrier damage-induced localized/fixed charges at elevated temperatures is discussed. A temperature-dependent threshold voltage model for JNT with localized charges has been developed including the source/drain depleted regions. The impact of position, density, and polarity of localized charges on channel potential, bandgap energy, and threshold voltage is studied. Four different localized charge density profiles have been used to evaluate the performance degradation. The results demonstrate that localized charges significantly change the device threshold voltage and temperature sensitivity and show less detrimental effect at elevated temperatures.Index Terms-Hot-carrier effects, junctionless nanowire transistor (JNT), localized charges, temperature sensitivity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
