DESIGN AND SIMULATION OF A MULTILAYER SOI-MOSFET STRUCTURE FOR IMPROVING SELF-HEATING EFFECTS

Authors

Abstract

In this paper, a new silicon-on-insulator (SOI) device structure is proposed to reduce self-heating effects. Using Si3N4 material is main idea in the structure that has high thermal conductivity respect to silicon dioxide. The device has been verified in two-dimensional device simulation. The results show that the structure provides a new path to reduce the temperature of the channel of SOI Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET) and decreases the temperature in the channel.
