Popis: n-channel SOI MOSFETs with floating bodies show a threshold voltage shift and an improvement in subthreshold slope at high drain biases. The magnitude of this effect depends on the device parameters and the starting SOI substrate. A simple device model is presented that explains the observed characteristics to be due to MOS back-bias effects resulting from the positively charged floating body. The improvement in the subthreshold slope is the outcome of positive feedback between the body potential and the transistor channel current. >
