Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We have examined impact of an amorphous ZnSnO channel layer with high thickness uniformity on electrical characteristics of a bilayer tunneling FET (TFET) with an oxide semiconductor channel (OS) and a group-IV semiconductor source. TCAD simulation revealed that the threshold voltage for band-to-band tunneling strongly varies with the OS channel thickness, indicating that the channel thickness non-uniformity could affect the sub-threshold characteristics of the bilayer TFET. In order to improve the channel thickness uniformity, we have developed the ZnSnO deposition condition to realize high thickness uniformity and have achieved the improvement of the sub-threshold characteristics with the amorphous ZnSnO channel layer. On the other hand, it has also been found that existence of tail-states related to the amorphous structure could be one of physical reasons to limit the sub-threshold characteristics of the bilayer TFETs.
