The carrier recombination influence on the floating body effect for fu
lly depleted n-channel SOIMOSFET was analyzed by device simulation. It
was found that the hole diffusion to the source electrode is negligib
ly small and that the surface recombination for the generated hole dom
inates the hole extinction, at the subthreshold region. Based on the s
imulated result, an analytical model on the hole concentration is prop
osed, in which the recombination velocity is explicitly included. The
model explains the hole concentration behavior that is responsible for
the floating body effect for the fully depleted SOIMOSFET.
