This paper investigates the inversion charge characteristics and quantum-capacitance induced inversion charge loss for In0.53Ga0.47As negative-capacitance FinFETs (NC-FinFETs) using theoretical calculation corroborated with numerical simulation. Our study indicates that, the boost of inversion charges due to negative capacitance increases with increasing remnant polarization P-r. In addition, the inversioncharge boosting for the In0.53Ga0.47As device is significantly larger than that of the Si (110) device due to the step-like inversion capacitance characteristic stemming from the 2D density-of-states of the In0.53Ga0.47As device. In other words, the quantum-capacitance induced inversion-charge loss for III-V channel can be mitigated in NCFETs.

A low-voltage programmable gate-all-around (GAA) nanosheet poly-Si thin-film transistor (TFT) nonvolatile memory (NVM), which uses band-to-band tunneling induced hot electron (BBHE) programming, is demonstrated. The BBHE method is extremely efficient for programming data in the p-type GAA nanosheet TFT NVM because the GAA nanosheet structure enhances the source-to-drain component of the electric field in its channel. Therefore, the enhanced electric field of the BBHE phenomenon creates energetic electrons that surmount the tunneling oxide barrier easily and pass shallow traps in the charge trapping layer of the GAA TFT NVM. Consequently, the p-type GAA TFT NVM achieves low-voltage programming bias and satisfactory data retention.
