Abstract
This paper presents a detailed RF study for source/drain Schottky-barrier (SB) MOSFETs. Using on-wafer S-parameters, high-frequency (HF) figures-of-merit (FoMs) and small-signal equivalent circuits (SSEC) are first extracted and discussed for a 120-nm-gate-length SB MOSFET. Then, using ac simulations, HF FoM's sensitivity along SB height and underlap length variations are subsequently presented. The whole study provides, for SB MOSFETs, a deep understanding of key ac-element (transconductances and capacitances) behavior as well as process-parameter optimization to achieve the best HF FoMs.
