The invention provides a cold source Schottky
transistor and a preparation process thereof. The cold source Schottky
transistor comprises a substrate, a source region, a channel region, a source
electrode, a drain
electrode and a grid
electrode, the source region is arranged on the substrate and comprises a first source region and a
metal region connected with the first source region, and the first source region is a heavily doped region; the drain region is arranged on the substrate, the drain region is a heavily doped region, and the
doping type of the drain region is opposite to that of the first source region; the channel region is arranged on the substrate, the channel region is located between the
metal region and the drain region, and the upper side and / or the lower side of the channel region are / is provided with a
gate dielectric; the source electrode is arranged on the source region; the drain electrode is arranged on the drain region; the grid electrode is arranged on the grid electrode medium. Under the condition of certain source-drain bias
voltage, in the process of increasing the
gate voltage, the
Schottky barrier between the channel region and the
metal region is lowered, the
Schottky barrier is thinned until the
Schottky barrier of the low-energy region is thin enough, the
tunneling current is increased rapidly, electrons of the low-energy region of the source region tunnel the Schottky barrier, and the
tunneling current is increased rapidly. Therefore, the
subthreshold swing can be lower than 60mV / dec.
