II. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ON RESEARCH OUTCOMES OF THIS PROJECT (FORM 2)

1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT

Sub-project 3 focuses on the development of new miniaturized three-dimensional microwave

components and antennas in multi-layered structures, and exploits the integration technologies to realize the concept of AMSOP (Advanced Microwave tri-dimensional System-On-Package). Development of microwave circuits and antennas in three dimensions has a large flexibility in circuit design to achieve goals in circuit miniaturization, performance enhancement, and system integration. Various innovative three dimensional microwave passive components are to be designed and implemented by using the multi-layer processes such as LTCCs, multi-layer thin-films, and multi-layer PCBs. In most applications, the passive circuits and the signal distribution networks constitute a large fraction of the total circuitry. Passive components can be integrated and embedded inside a multi-layered substrate using the 3-D configuration to save a lot of circuit real estate, increase the packaging density, and reduce the insertion losses at connection points between discrete components and the substrate. Since the design degree of freedom increases, these circuits may have not only smaller sizes, but also better performance. Moreover, we can integrate the new miniaturized passive components, the miniaturized antennas, and the active components into a multi-layer substrate RF module, to realize the AMSOP.

Besides, technology of nanoscale CMOS devices and circuits are explored. In the part of nanoscale CMOS device, we study the new device structure and new semiconductor materials for pursuing high performance VLSI devices. According to our 3D simulation platform, omega- and surrounding-gate nanowire MOSFETs are designed and simulated using full quantum mechanical transport model. A new nanowire FinFET structure is successfully developed for CMOS device scaling into the sub-10 nm regime. Accumulation mode P-type MOSFET and inversion mode N-type MOSFET with 5 nm and 10 nm physical gate length, respectively, are fabricated. N-type MOSFET gate delay (CV/I) of 0.22 ps and P-type MOSFET gate delay of 0.48 ps with excellent subthreshold characteristics are simultaneously achieved, both with very low off leakage current less than 10 nA/µm. Nanowire FinFET device operation is also explored using 3-D full quantum mechanical simulation. On the other hand, effect of random fluctuation on degradation of electrical characteristics is investigated with perturbation technique and quantum correction model. Reduction of fluctuation is significantly achieved, which directly benefits the mass production of sub-45 nm technology and semiconductor foundry industry.

2. BREAKTHROUGHS AND MAJOR ACHIEVEMENTS

I. Various novel miniaturized filter configurations usng three-dimensional structures have been proposed and demonstrated, including dual-passband quasi-elliptic filters, single- and dual- bandpass filters of serial-configuration using LTCC technology, vertically installed planar (VIP) filters, and several modified parallel coupled-line filters with excellent performance.

II. Multi-dimensional full quantum transport modeling and simulation for nanoelectronics has successfully been developed. We have applied the developed CAD platform to perform the world-wide smallest transistor’s simulation. It is a silicon nanowire FinFET with 5 nm gate length. The quantum mechanical theory and perturbation solution methodology for the random

(6)

dopant-induced fluctuation in electrical characteristics of nanoscale VLSI devices is also presented. According to our work on the quantum correction models to single and infinite gate FETs, a novel analyzing technique is proposed. Within minute’s simulation time, this approach enables us to explore device characteristic fluctuation with channel length scaling down to 5 nm. The proposed theoretical approach has experimentally been verified with realistic sub-45nm VLSI CMOS devices at TSMC.

3. CATEGORIZED SUMMARY OF RESEARCH OUTCOMES.

The summaries of the research outcomes are as follows: (For more details, please see Appendix VI.)

First year:

I. Novel Miniaturized Filters and Modules

This sub-project has investigated the innovative miniaturized LTCC multi-layer modules with dual-band response. This module integrates passive components and active components into a package. Besides, a novel band-pass filter of serial-configuration has been proposed and demonstrated. This serial-configuration concept can be clearly extend for two serially-connected 2-port networks with opposite reactance to produce finite transmission zeros. On the other hand, we also design a quasi-elliptic function filter (with cross coupling) with a dual-passband response. A design method for parallel-coupled line filter on a suspended structure with suppression of the second harmonic has been present. A filter design method for coupled stages with arbitrary image impedances is also developed.

II. Broadband and Multi-band Antennas on small ground plane

Two multi-band antennas on small ground plane have been proposed. Both the measured radiation patterns are well-behaved with high antenna gains and are nearly omni-directional at specified frequencies. Also, both the measured return losses are found to be well-behaved for enough -10 dB bandwidths. In addition, we have designed a simple barrier structure in between two closely-spaced diversity antennas for decreasing the mutual coupling between antennas. The measured results show that, without deteriorating the antennas’ performance, the isolation is improved to be better than 13 dB at the two operating bands.

III. Vertically Installed Planar (VIP) components

During this year, we have developed some tri-dimensional circuits. The vertically installed planar (VIP) circuits are one of them. An octave bandwidth VIP filter using step impedance resonator (SIR) technology has been developed. The filter shows more than an octave bandwidth, and the upper stopband rejection is higher than 40dB. Among these researches, “Broadband VIP filter” is the most significant application of VIP structure for solving most difficult part to realize an octave bandwidth planar filter. “Harmonic passband suppression filter using meandered coupled-lines” not only largely shrinks the size of a conventional parallel-coupled filter but also drastically improves the upper stopband rejection.

(7)

Multi-dimensional full quantum transport modeling and simulation for nanoelectronics has successfully been developed. We have applied the developed CAD platform to perform the world-wide smallest transistor’s simulation. It is a silicon nanowire FinFET with 5 nm gate length. Our hybrid intelligent optimization prototype can perform global model parameter optimization so that a set of optimized device and circuit parameters can be extracted at the same time. This solution technique benefits modern nano- and micro-electronic industries ranging from VLSI products and display plane.

Second year:

I. Novel Miniaturized Filters and Modules

In this year, we continue to develop more miniaturized filters and modules, the concept of serial configuration for single-band bandpass filter is extended for dual-band bandpass filter design, which can also produce a finite transmission zero by series connecting two opposite-phase filters without affecting these two pass-band performance. On the other hand, the module designed in the first year has been fabricated and measured in this year. This dual-band RF front-end module integrate 2 low pass filters, 2 band pass filters, 2 diplexers, a DPDT switch, a LNA and a power detector into a multi-layer LTCC substrate. And in the next year, we will develop a RF module with embedded antenna. Besides, several excellent filters are also proposed, such as modified parallel-coupled filter with two independently controllable upper stopband transmission zeros, a five-pole cascade quadruplet (CQ) microstrip filter having two pairs of transmission zeros, modified insertion loss function synthesis of maximally flat parallel-coupled line bandpass filters, microstrip bandpass filters with a dual-passband response, and microstrip bandpass filters for ultra-wideband (UWB) wireless communications.

II. New Miniaturized Antenna

A dielectric-loaded quadrifilar helix antenna is developed this year. The frequency is 1.575GHz for GPS mobile applications. Its circularly polarized radiation pattern is omni-directional with a cardioid shape. The self-phasing methodology gives the quadrature phase input, thus for differential input LNA or RFIC, the antenna can be connected directly

III. Quantum Mechanical Theory and Perturbation Solution Methodology for Random Dopant-Induced Fluctuation

Numerical solution of the Schrödinger and Poisson equations (SPEs) plays an important role in semiconductor simulation. We present a robust iterative method to compute the self-consistent solution of the SPEs in nanoscale metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) structures. Based on the global convergence of the monotone iterative (MI) method in solving the quantum corrected nonlinear Poisson equation (PE), this iterative method is successfully implemented and tested on the single-, double-, and surrounding-gate (SG, DG, and AG) MOS structures. Compared with other approaches, shown in Fig. 4, various numerical simulations are demonstrated to show the accuracy and efficiency of the method. In addition, we explore the structure effect on electrical characteristics of sub-10-nm double-gate metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistors (DG MOSFETs). To quantitatively assess the nanoscale DG MOSFETs' characteristics, the on/off

(8)

current ratio, subthreshold swing, threshold voltage (V_ th), and drain-induced barrier-height lowering are numerically calculated for the device with different channel length (L) and the thickness of silicon film (Tsi). Based on our two-dimensional density gradient simulation, shown in Fig. 6, it is found that, to maintain optimal device characteristics and suppress short channel effects (SCEs) for nanoscale DG MOSFETs, Tsi should be simultaneously scaled down with respect to L. From a practical fabrication point-of-view, a DG MOSFET with ultrathin Tsi will suppress the SCE, but suffers the fabrication process and on-state current issues. Simulation results suggest that L/Tsi > 1 may provide a good alternative in eliminating SCEs of double-gate-based nanodevices.

4. A SUMMARY OF THE POST-PROJECT PLAN

SLIDES ON SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY BREAKTHROUGHS

1. Various novel miniaturized filter configurations usng three-dimensional structures have been proposed and demonstrated, including dual-passband quasi-elliptic filters, single- and dual- bandpass filters of serial-configuration filters, vertically installed planar (VIP) filters, and modified parallel coupled-line filters.

(26)

2. Multi-dimensional full quantum transport modeling and simulation for nanoelectronics has successfully been developed. We have applied the developed CAD platform to perform the world-wide smallest transistor’s simulation. It is a silicon nanowire FinFET with 5 nm gate length. A set of optimized device and circuit parameters can be extracted, which benefits modern nano- and micro-electronic industries ranging from VLSI products and display plane.
