High-Performance nMOSFETs Using a Novel Strained Si/SiGe CMOS Architecture

Performance enhancements of up to 170% in drain current, maximum transconductance, and field-effect mobility are presented for nMOSFETs fabricated with strained-Si channels compared with identically processed bulk Si MOSFETs. A novel layer structure comprising Si/Si<sub>0.7</sub>Ge<su...
