In this paper, the self-heating effects (SHE) in 45nm Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) and Silicon-on-Diamond (SOD) are investigated. As a result of the high thermal conductivity of diamond, SHE is much less pronounced in SOD structures. This makes SOD transistors suitable for high power applications were large power density is required. Our hydrodynamic simulation results show that […]
A silicon on diamond structure to improve DIBL is presented. The electrical field penetration through the buried insulator of diamond degrades the DIBL. In the new structure, a second, double insulating material, e.g. SiO2 is added on top of the buried insulator and partially covers the diamond. The second insulating material has lower electrical permittivity. […]
