文摘After constructing a stress and strain model, the valence bands of in-plane biaxial tensile strained Si is calculated by k·p method.

The results show that the valance bands are highly distorted, and the anisotropy is more obvious. To obtain the density of states （DOS） effective mass, which is a very important parameter for device modeling, a DOS effective mass model of biaxial tensile strained Si is constructed based on the valance band calculation.
