Abstract
Sub-bandgap impact ionization is compared in 100 nm channel length conventional channel and laterally asymmetrical n-channel metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET). An abnormal increase of the gate voltage at which the substrate current peaks is reported. The effect is enhanced in the case of laterally asymmetric channel devices. Experimental and simulation results are presented that suggest the role of inversion layer quantization as an energy gain mechanism.
