We have obtained ultrahigh room-temperature (RT) hole Hall and effective mobility in Si0.3Ge0.7/Ge/Si0.3Ge0.7 heterostructures with very small parallel conduction. Reducing parallel conduction was achieved by employing Sb doping in Si0.3Ge0.7 buffer layers, which drastically increased RT hole Hall mobility up to 2100 cm2/V s in the strained Ge channel modulation-doped structures and improved device characteristics of the p-type metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistors with the strained Ge channel. The peak effective mobility reached to 2700 cm2/V s at RT, which was much higher than the bulk Ge drift mobility.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
