Abstract
Analysis of thermal and electrical characteristics of the proposed device, selective buried oxide junctionless transistor (SELBOX-JLT) along with its analog performance, is compared with silicon on insulator junctionless transistor (SOI-JLT). The proposed device shows better thermal efficiency. The maximum device temperature of SELBOX-JLT is 311 K, much less than that of SOI-JLT (445 K). The proposed device has almost no effect of self-heating on output characteristics. SELBOX-JLT exhibits better I ON/I OFF ratio, subthreshold slope, and drain-induced barrier lowering as compared to SOI-JLT for the same channel length. The analog performance parameters as transconductance (G m ), transconductance/drain current ratio (G m /I D), drain conductance (G D), output resistance (R 0), intrinsic gain (G m R 0), and unity-gain frequency (f T ) of the proposed device are found to be better than SOI-JLT.
