متن کاملStrain-Controlled Valley Splitting in Si-SiGe Heterostructures
A splitting between equivalent valleys larger than the spin splitting was recently reported in a gate confined electron system in thin Si films grown on SiGe substrate [1]. This degeneracy lifting reduces scattering and improves the coherence time. The valley splitting larger than the spin splitting opens a way to build spin qubits, which makes silicon-based quantum devices promising for future...
متن کاملValley Splitting and Spin Lifetime Enhancement in Ultra-Scaled MOSFETs
Electron spin properties in silicon and other semiconductors have attracted a significant attention in recent theoretical and experimental studies. Silicon is an ideal material for spintronic applications due to its long spin lifetime in the bulk. However, large spin relaxation in gated silicon structures was experimentally observed. Understanding the details of spin propagation in ultrascaled ...
متن کاملSpin Lifetime Dependence on Valley Splitting in Thin Silicon Films
Electron spin attracts much attention as an alternative to the electron charge degree of freedom for low-power re-programmable logic and non-volatile memory applications. In contrast to charge, spin is not a conserved quantity, and having sufficiently long spin lifetime is critical for applications. We investigate spin relaxation in (001) SOI structures depending on the splitting between the eq...
متن کاملLow-Field Mobility in Strained Silicon Inversion Layers and UTB MOSFETs for Different Substrate Orientations
To continue improvement of CMOS device performance process induced uniaxial stress is widely adopted in logic technologies starting from the 90 nm technology generation. In this work we model stress induced electron mobility enhancement in ultra thin body (UTB) MOSFETs for (001) and (110) substrate orientation using the Monte Carlo method. Uniaxial stress effects on the band structure are incor...
