“…This result indicates that the carrier mobility improvement provided by the strained material depends on the crystal orientation, as previously demonstrated in Ref. [18]. When W Fin is agressively reduced, the strain component perpendicular to the channel relaxes transforming the overall strain from biaxial to uniaxial, affecting the g m,max gain.…”

“…The combination of the global and local strained Si technologies is considered effective to induce extremely large strain in Si. Fin-type structures have been reported for high-performance FETs [13]. It is considered that the stress relaxation occurs during the fabrication of the fin-shaped strained Si layer.…”
“…For the attached multi-gate devices to the BOX layer (e.g. Fin-FET but not GAA), four stressor technologies have been reported until now: epitaxial films in the S/D [22,23], CESL [24], strained substrate [25] and metal gate strain [26].…”

a b s t r a c tThis paper reports all-silicon asymmetrically strained Tunnel FET architectures that feature improved subthreshold swing and I on /I off characteristics. We demonstrate that a lateral strain profile corresponding to at least 0.2 eV band-gap shrinkage at the BTB source junction could act as an optimized performance Tunnel FET enabling the cancellation of the drain threshold voltage. To implement a real device, we demonstrate using GAA Si NW with asymmetric strain profile using two local stressor technologies to have >4-5 GPa peak of lateral uniaxial tensile stress in the Si NW.
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.
