Silicon-on-insulator junctionless transistor (SOI-JLT) is introduced as an efficient device for nanoscale destinations. Moreover, critical lattice temperature and high leakage current are taken into account as the fundamental challenges can limit the use of the SOI-JLTs. This paper aims to modify a conventional junctionless in order to improve the electrical and thermal performance. A new window filled by lightly doped P-type silicon material opens inside a part of the buried oxide beneath the channel region. This reformation in the junctionless creates a depletion layer at the channel region/new window interface to reduce the leakage current, successfully. Also, the critical lattice temperature of the proposed structure will be mitigated owing to higher effective thermal conduction in contrast to the conventional SOI-JLT structure. Two carriers and two-dimensional (2D) simulation of the structures under the study considering the various spectra of parameters in terms of lattice temperature, leakage current, electron temperature, driving current, transconductance, output conductance, parasitic capacitance, current gain, unilateral power gain, cutoff frequency, maximum oscillation frequency, and minimum noise figure revealed that the suggested device provides a better opportunity for the researchers and experimentalists to implement and develop it for VLSI applications.KEYWORDS depletion layer, electrical performance, junctionless, silicon-on-insulator, temperature lattice
| INTRODUCTIONUtilizing the silicon-on-insulator technology is an interesting solution to improve the short channel effects and electrical performance for the nanoscale devices owing to high immunity to latch-up current, smaller parasitic capacitance, and high transconductance. 1-3 The importance of SOI technology is so high that many papers are attributed to it for both low-voltage and high-voltage cases. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] The nanoscale junctionless is welcomed to VLSI industry since it overcomes the basic weaknesses of SOI-MOSFETs. The most important factor to limit using the nanoscale SOI-MOSFET structures is that they need a very sharp and step doping profile keeping the SOI technology advantages which is very hard and sometimes impossible due to technological challenges of the MOSFET-based devices. 16 The advent of the junctionless structure has given a new sprit to the VLSI industry since it is very compatible with the conventional MOSFET fabrication process along with promoted electrical performance. 17,18 It is the importance of
