High hole and electron mobilities using Strained Si / Strained Ge heterostructures
نویسنده
چکیده
PMOS and NMOS mobility characteristics of the dual channel (strained Si/strained Ge) heterostructure have been reviewed. It is shown that the dual channel heterostructure can provide substantially enhanced mobilities for both electrons and holes. However, germanium interdiffusion from the germanium rich buried layer into the underlying buffer layer could potentially reduce the hole mobility enhancements.

MOSFET Channel Engineering using Strained Si, SiGe, and Ge Channels
Biaxial tensile strained Si grown on SiGe virtual substrates will be incorporated into future generations of CMOS technology due to the lack of performance increase with scaling. Compressively strained Ge-rich alloys with high hole mobilities can also be grown on relaxed SiGe. We review progress in strained Si and dual channel heterostructures, and also introduce high hole mobility digital allo...

Selectively doped Gex Si , _ x lSi strained layer heterostructures have been grown in a single quantum well configuration on (OOl)-Si substrate using molecular beam epitaxy. The modulation doping effect has been observed inp-type structures only; although both nandp-type double heterostructures were grown. We have investigated the effects of: (i) alloy layer thickness (well width), (ii) doping ...

Metal-oxide-semiconductor capacitors were fabricated on type-II staggered gap strained-Si/strained-Ge heterostructures epitaxially grown on relaxed SiGe substrates of various Ge fractions. Quasistatic quantummechanical capacitance-voltage (CV) simulations were fit to experimental CV measurements to extract the band alignment of the strained layers. The valence-band offset of the strained-Si/str...
