Short Channel Effects are governed by complex physical phenomena and mainly Influenced because of both vertical and horizontal electric field components.
To meet the current requirements of
Electronic devices, the miniaturization of devices is important. And so is Second Order effects which otherwise degrade the performance of devices.
5. INTRODUCTION

The field-effect transistor (FET) is a transistor that
uses an electric field to control the electrical behavior
of the device. FETs are also known as unipolar
transistors since they involve single-carrier-type
operation. Many different implementations of field
effect transistors exist. Field effect transistors
generally display very high input impedance at low
frequencies. The conductivity between the drain and
source terminals is controlled by an electric field in
the device, which is generated by the voltage
difference between the body and the gate of the
device
10. “A MOSFET device is considered to be
short when the channel length is the same
order of as the channel length L is reduced
to increase both the operation speed and the
number of components per chip, the so
called short-channel effects arise.
11. 11
The short-channel effects are attributed to two physical phenomena:
The limitation
imposed on
electron drift
characteristics in
the channel The modification
of the threshold
voltage due to
the shortening
channel
length.
12. Limitations resulting from the size reduction

shrinking channel length
the narrow channel width
the creation of strong field in the channel
Limits resulting from :
13. 13
In particular five different short-channel effects can be
distinguished:
Drain-induced
barrier lowering and
“Punch through”
Surface scattering Velocity saturation
Impact ionization Hot electrons
14. DRAIN INDUCE DBARRIER LOWERING (DIBL)

.
• Increase in drain voltage reduces
the barrier face by electrons or
holes in the source allowing them
to go from source to drain where
gate voltage remain unchanged.
• Gate looses the control of flow
of current through MOS and
become as good as redundant.
15. “
Punch through
When the depletion regions surrounding the drain extends to the source,
so that the two depletion layer merge, punch trough occurs.
Punch through can be minimized with thinner oxides, larger substrate
doping, shallower junctions, and obviously with longer channels.
16. Surface scattering
16
You may be wondering why this is a short-channel effect...
Indeed, as the length of the channel becomes shorter, the
lateral electric field created by VDS becomes stronger. To
compensate that, the vertical electric field created by the
gate voltage needs to increase proportionally, which can be
achieved by reducing the oxide thickness. As a side effect,
surface scattering becomes heavier, reducing the effective
mobility in comparison with longer channel technology
nodes
17. Velocity saturation
17
• Up to certain point velocity is
directly proportional to electric field.
• But after the point velocity saturates
and has no effects of increase in
electric field.
18. Impact Ionization
18
When an electron collides with an atom of the Silicon lattice structure, the energy passed to the
atom upon collision can knock out an electron out of the valence band to the conduction band,
creating an electron-hole pair. The hole is attracted to the bulk while the generated electron moves
on to the drain.
19. “
Holes flowing through the bulk create a voltage drop that may turn on the parasitic bipolar
transistor. When it turns on, electrons can flow to the bulk and drain by the BJT instead of
the channel created by the MOSFET
20. Hot electron
20
At high velocity carriers drifting near the drain
gains extra energy called hot carriers.
These hot carriers tunnel through gate oxide
thus reducing the total current flow from source to
drain.
Reduces the input impedance.
The implantation of lightly doped drains
21. Fin FET
21
This state of the transistor creates the ability to
control the channel guidance in three directions
vertically, which makes controlling the flow of the
transistor far better than the planar transistors. The
reason for naming the FinFet name is the uplink
channel, in the sense that it is called a Fin because
of its rise, which is why it is called the Fin or the
Wing. It should be noted that the use of several Fin
contributes to the power of the transistor.
