High Electron and Hole Mobility by Localized Tensile & Compressive Strain Formation Using Ion Implantation and Advanced Annealing of Group IV Materials (Si+C, Si+Ge & Ge+Sn)
Abstract:This paper will review strain-Si and strain-Ge formation by ion implantation and advanced annealing to form localized tensile and compressive strain channel for improved electron and hole mobility in Group IV materials. Carbon implant was used to reduce the surface Si lattice constant forming Si+C material for localized compressive strain-Si channel. Ge implant was used to increase the surface Si lattice constant forming Si+Ge material for localized tensile strain-Si channel and Sn implant to increase the surf… Show more
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.
