What is SOI?

 SOI uses Silicon On Silicon insulator instead


of Si substrate only
 SOI is used to reduce parasitic device Bulk MOSFET
capacitance which improves the
performance
 The choice of insulator can be varied
depending on the requirement
 UTB-SOI suppress Short Channel Effects,
scale gate length and reduce sub-threshold
gate leakage current.

SOI MOSFET
Performance of SOI

 90% lower junction capacitance; near ideal sub-threshold swing; reduce


device cross-talk;
 Lower junction leakage -> low switching energy of the transistor
 Do not suffer from substrate reverse bias effects -> low-power devices.
 Better electrostatic control: reduce S-D leakage and SCE.
 Full dielectric isolation of the transistor
 Reduced junction area
 Impact ionization strongly balanced by thermal recombination.
 Critical drawback as: floating body effects: body potential shifts –shift in 𝑉𝑡 ,
sub-threshold swing, and kink effects: minimized by thinner silicon.
Types of SOI Devices

 Two types of SOIs


1. Partially Depleted (PDSOI)
2. Fully Depleted (FDSOI)
 FDSOI is preferred over PDSOI because
1. Thinner size
2. Reduced leakage current
3. Improved power consumption characteristics
PDSOI vs FDSOI

PDSOI FDSOI
 Insulating BOX thickness is 100 to  Insulating BOX thickness is 5 to
200nm 50nm
 Top silicon layer 50 to 90nm  Top silicon 5 to 20nm
 Used in analog circuit  Low power applications
 Easy to manufacture  Leakage and power consumption
reduced drastically
 Drawback: complex fabrication
 Drawback: packaging scalability
process
FDSOI: Ultrathin Body SOI

 PDSOI is the same in operation as bulk transistors


except for the Floating Body Terminals Effects
 In FDSOI case, the front and back channels are electro-
statically coupled during device operation
 This electrostatic coupling, makes the front channel FD
device parameters dependent on the back gate voltage,
including drain current, threshold voltage, sub-threshold
slope etc.

Advantages of FDSOI (UTB SOI)

 Small and well-controlled channel thickness; high series resistance


 Reduced floating body effects compared to PDSOI.
 Thin body thickness; Improved transistor sub-threshold swing due to
greatly improved gate control
 Reduced parasitic capacitances from the absence of depletion
capacitances, leading to improved speed (due to complete isolation of
p and n wells)
 Reduced antenna issues
 No body or well taps are needed
Advantages …

 Reduced power consumption due to better isolation of body terminal


reduces the leakage current
 Higher performance at equivalent 𝑉𝑑𝑑 . Can work at low 𝑉𝑑𝑑 .
 Reduced temperature dependency due to no doping
 Variation of 𝑉𝑡 due to variation of body thickness overcomes all other
factors in UTB-SOI devices
 Improved channel mobility due to reduced transverse electric field
Drawbacks of FDSOI (UTB SOI)

 The primary barrier to SOI implementation is the drastic increase in


substrate cost, which contributes an estimated 10–15% increase to
total manufacturing costs.
 It has higher manufacturing process complexity due to the BOX layer
 The buried oxide layer and concerns about differential stress in the
topmost silicon layer.
 Reduces parasitic drain-to-body capacitance but drain field fringe
increases DIBL and hence, gate current is worst at short-channel.
Applications

 The buried oxide layer can be used in SRAM memory


 High Performance microprocessors: due to higher performance, lower
dynamic and static power and better immunity to soft errors.
 In high performance radio frequency applications
 Low Power Applications like laptops etc.
 Used in photonics
 In MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) like Sensors etc.
