Abstract: A 0.1μm SOI grooved gate pMOSFET with 5.6nm gate oxide is fabricated and demonstrated.The groove depth is 180nm.The transfer characteristics and the output characteristics are shown.At Vds=-1.5V,the drain saturation current is 380μA and the off-state leakage current is 1.9nA;the sub-threshold slope is 115mV/dec at Vds=-0.1V and DIBL factor is 70.7mV/V.The electrical characteristic comparison between the 0.1μm SOI grooved-gate pMOSFET and the 0.1μm bulk grooved gate one with the same process demonstrates that a 0.1μm SOI grooved gate pMOSFET has better characteristics in current-driving capability and sub-threshold slope.
