摘要：

This work presents for the first time experimental results for the extraction of the increase in the effective electrical oxide thickness (Delta(tox) = t(ox, expt) - t(ox, physical)) in MOS accumulation layers with heavily doped sudstrates due to quantum mechanical (QM) effects, using experimentally measured MOS capacitance-voltage (C-V) characteristics and experimentally verified fullband self-consistent calculations. In addition, the fullband self-consistent simulations have been extended to accumulation regions, and the experimental results for the accumulation region have been compared with simulations, It has been shown that at moderate to high doping levels, Delta t(ox) is as much as 0.4 to 0.5 nm for both electrons and holes, whereas for very high doping levels (> 1 X 10(19) cm(-3)) Delta t(ox) approaches zero. Thus, the experimental accumulation cm capacitance is predicted sufficiently well by the classical analysis itself.
