Fully Self-consistent Quantum Mechanical Device Simulator for Modeling P Channel Strained Sige Mosfets

چکیده
Over the past three decades, silicon MOS-based integrated circuits, such as microprocessors, have consistently delivered greater functionality at higher performance and lower cost per function. An empirical observation called Moore’s Law [1] is commonly quoted to highlight the exponential rates of increase in circuit speed and integration density as MOS transistors have scaled down in channel length. As devices have gotten smaller, faster and cheaper, demand for higher device performance has increased because computer systems have grown more widespread and complex.

High Mobility Strained Si/SiGe Heterostructure MOSFETs
Strained Siand SiGe-based heterostructure MOSFETs grown on relaxed SiGe virtual substrates exhibit dramatic electron and hole mobility enhancements over bulk Si, making them promising candidates for next generation CMOS devices. The most heavily investigated heterostructures consist of a single strained Si layer grown upon a relaxed SiGe substrate. While this configuration offers significant pe...
متن کاملSilicon Epitaxial Regrowth Passivation of SiGe Nanostructures Pattered by AFM Oxidation
SiGe quantum devices were demonstrated by AFM oxidation and selective wet etching with features size down to 50 nm. To passivate the devices and eliminate the interface states between Si/SiO2, low temperature regrowth of epitaxial silicon over strained SiGe has been tested. The silicon regrowth on Si0.8Ge0.2 was done by rapid thermal chemical vapor deposition (RTCVD) at 700 oC using a hydrogen ...

This thesis presents work aimed at investigating the possible benefit of strained-Si/SiGe heterostructure MOSFETs designed for nanoscale (sub-50-nm) gate lengths with the aid of device fabrication and electrical measurements combined with computer simulation. MOSFET devices fabricated on bulk-Si material are scaled in order to achieve gains in performance and integration. However, as device dim...
متن کاملSilicon-Germanium Interdiffusion and Its Impacts on Enhanced Mobility MOSFETs
As complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) scale, strained Si and SiGe technology have received more attention as a means of enhancing performance via improved carrier mobility. One of the biggest challenges for strained Si and SiGe technology is Si-Ge interdiffusion during thermal processing. Two different aspects of Si-Ge interdiffusion are explored in this ...

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...
