Abstract:Compressively strained SiGe is an interesting channel material for sub 45 nm p-MOSFETs because of its superior hole mobility (up to 10x over bulk Si channels) and compatibility with current Si manufacturing technologies. In this work, the impact of heterostructure composition and SiGe channel thickness on the electrical characteristics of p-MOSFET are studied. Using strained Si0.8Ge0.2 p-MOSFET, the thickness was altered to a few thicknesses of 3 nm, 5 nm, 7 nm, and 9 nm respectively. The optimal thickness was… Show more
