    The effects of growth temperature on the microstructure and electrical barrier height of the PtSi Schottky barrier detector (SBD) have been investigated. PtSi films, 4 nm in thickness were deposited at various temperatures ranging from 350 to 550 degreesC. The electron diffraction patterns showed that PtSi film formed at 350 degreesC depicts an intermingling of both (1 (1) over bar1) and (1 (2) over bar1) orientations. However, only (1 (2) over bar1) orientation was shown when the PtSi films were formed above 450 degreesC. Moreover, SBD formed at 350 degreesC was found to depict an electrical barrier that is approximately 0.02 eV higher than those formed above 450 degreesC. Although the microstructure and the electrical barrier height of the PtSi film do not change when the formation temperature was further increased from 450 to 550 degreesC. Nevertheless, the higher formation temperature resulted in a larger grain size, indicating that grain size alone does not affect the barrier height of the resultant SBD.

    A novel Schottky barrier thin-film transistor (SBTFT) with silicided source/drain and field-induced drain (FID) extension is proposed and demonstrated. In the new device configuration, a metal field-plate (or sub-gate) lying on the passivation oxide is employed to induce a sheet of carriers in a channel offset region located between the silicided drain and the active channel region underneath the main-gate. The new device thus allows ambipolar device operation by simply switching the polarity of the bias applied to the field plate. In contrast to the conventional SBTFT that suffers from high GIDL (gate-induced drain leakage)-like off-state leakage current, the new SBTFT with FID is essentially free from the GIDL-like leakage current. In addition, unlike the conventional SBTFT that suffers from the low on-off current ratio, the new device exhibits high on/off current ratio up to 10(6) for both n- and p-channel modes of operation. Moreover, the implantless feature and the ambipolar capability of the new device also result in extra low mask count for CMOS processes integration. These excellent device characteristics, coupled with its simple processing, make the new device very promising for future large-area electronic applications.

    A novel Schottky-barrier metal-oxide-semiconductor thin-film transistor (SBTFT) was successfully demonstrated and characterized. The new SBTFT device features a fleld-induced-drain (FID) region, which is controlled by a metal field-plate lying on top of the passivation oxide. The FED region is sandwiched between the silicided drain and the active channel region. Carrier types and the conductivity of the transistor are controlled by the metal field-plate. The device is thus capable of ambipolar operation. Excellent ambipolar performance with on/off current ratios over 10(6) for both p- and n-channel operations was realized simultaneously on the same device fabricated with polysilicon active layer. Moreover, the off-state leakage current shows very weak dependence on the gate-to-drain voltage difference with the FID structure. Finally, the effects of FED length are explored.

    Detailed conduction mechanisms in a conventional Schottky barrier thin-film transistor (SBTFT) and a recently proposed novel SBTFT with field-induced drain (FID) extension have been studied. The new SBTFT device with FID extension shows excellent ambipolar performance with effective suppression of gate-induced drain leakage (GIDL)-like off-state leakage that plagues conventional SBTFT devices. By characterizing the activation energy of the conduction process in the off-state for conventional SBTFT devices, it is suggested that field emission of carriers from the drain junction is the major conduction mechanism. While for the FID SBTFT devices, owing to the effect of Fermi level pinning in the FID region, thermionic emission rather than field emission becomes the dominant conduction mechanism, resulting in the effective suppression of the undesirable GIDL-like leakage current.

    A novel Schottky barrier silicon-on-insulator (SOI) metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) device was proposed and demonstrated, The new device features a silicide source/drain and field-induced source/drain (S/D) extensions. Excellent ambipolar performance with a near-ideal sub-threshold slope (similar to 60 mV/decade) and high on-/off-state current ratio (comparable to or higher than 10(9)) is realized, for the first time, on a single device. These encouraging results suggest that the new device may be suitable for some niche applications requiring simple and low-temperature processing of complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor(CMOS)-like devices.

    A novel Schottky barrier silicon-on-insulator metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor featuring metallic source/drain and an electrical drain junction has been fabricated and characterized. The formation of electrical drain junction, or the field-induced drain (FID), is controlled by a metal field-plate overlying the passivation oxide. Excellent ambipolar operation is demonstrated on the device. Specifically, on/off current ratios up to 10(8) and 10(7) are observed for p- and n-channel operations, respectively. Meanwhile, the off-state leakage current shows very weak dependence on the voltage difference between the main-gate and the drain, highlighting the effectiveness of FID. Finally, negative differential conductance effect is observed for n-channel operation, which is identified as due to dynamic hot electron trapping during device characterization.

    A simplified and improved Schottky-barrier metal-oxide-semiconductor device featuring a self-aligned offset channel length, PtSi Schottky junction, and reduced oxide thickness underneath the sub-gate was proposed and demonstrated. To alleviate the drawbacks related to the nonself-aligned offset channel length in the original version, a self-aligned offset channel length is achieved in, the new device by forming the silicide source/drain junction self-aligning to the sidewall spacers abutting the gate. This results in not only one mask count saving but also better device performance, as facilitated by, the reduced offset channel length of the self-aligned sidewall spacers. Moreover, the adoption of PtSi for the Schottky junction further improves the on-state current of p-channel operation, while a thinner oxide employed underneath the sub-gate effectively reduces the sub-gate bias needed to form the electrical junction to below 5 V. Significant improvement in on-current as well as leakage current reduction is achieved in the new improved device.

    Schottky barrier thin-film transistors (SB TFT) with field-induced drain (FID) have recently been demonstrated to exhibit ambipolar capability with low off-state leakage current. In this study, we investigate and compare the characteristics of poly-Si SB TFTs with channel layer prepared by excimer laser crystallization (ELC) and solid-phase crystallization (SPC). It is shown that the use of ELC could greatly improve the device characteristics, comparing to the SPC counterparts. Excellent device performance with steep subthreshold slope and on/off current ratio higher than 10(8) for both p- and n-channel operations are demonstrated on a single device with ELC channel. The effects of sub-gate bias, channel length, and channel offset length, on device characteristics are also explored.
