Abstract

In this work, we investigate analytically quantum mechanical (QM) effects on the threshold voltage (V"T"H) shift of the surrounding-gate (SG) metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs). We show how V"T"H is influenced by QM effects with the considerations of (110)-silicon (Si) orientation and (100)-Si orientation. Both doped and undoped models are presented. The analytical results of the undoped model are compared with those obtained by Yu et al., and good agreement is observed. We show how V"T"H is influenced with the doping level. When the radius of an SG MOSFET is small (10^1^8cm^-^3), the V"T"H shift will be large.
