Abstract

This paper reports on three-dimensional simulation of BOX isolation technologies in order to quantify the leakage currents due to the contribution of the lateral and vertical parasitic MOSFETs formed in conjunction with trench isolation. A new mode of leakage current cuased by intrinsic 3-D effects is described which may pose serious problems for future scaling of the minimum n+ to p+ spacing.
