    Abstract

    The electrical characteristics of ultrathin-body SOI CMOSFETs with SOI thickness ranging from 2.3 nm to 8 nm are intensively investigated. As a result, it is demonstrated, for the first time, that electron mobility increases as SOI thickness decreases, when SOI thickness is in the range from 3.5 nm to 4.5 nm. In addition, it is demonstrated that, when SOI thickness is thinner than 4 nm, slight (even atomic-level) SOI thickness fluctuations have a significant impact on threshold voltage, gate-channel capacitance, and carrier mobility of ultrathin-body CMOSFETs.
