The results show that this novel structure can suppress the short channel effects （SCE）, the drain-induced barrier-lowering （DIBL） and improve the subthreshold performance in nanoelectronics application. The model is verified by numerical simulation. The model provides the basic designing guidance of gate stack strained Si on SGOI MOSFETs.展开更多

The simulation results indicate that the most sensitive position of the Si Ge HBT device is the emitter center, where the protons pass through the larger collector-substrate(CS) junction. Furthermore, in this work the experimental studies are also carried out by using 100-Me V proton. In order to consider the influence of temperature on SEE, both simulation and experiment are conducted at a temperature of 93 K. At a cryogenic temperature, the carrier mobility increases, which leads to higher transient current peaks, but the duration of the current decreases significantly.Notably, at the same proton flux, there is only one single event transient(SET) that occurs at 93 K. Thus, the radiation hard ability of the device increases at cryogenic temperatures. The simulation results are found to be qualitatively consistent with the experimental results of 100-Me V protons. To further evaluate the tolerance of the device, the influence of proton on Si Ge HBT after gamma-ray(^(60)Coγ) irradiation is investigated. As a result, as the cumulative dose increases, the introduction of traps results in a significant reduction in both the peak value and duration of the transient currents.展开更多

The concept of this study is the use of porous Si as a sponge like substrate so that a SiGe lattice can relax without introducing dislocations. We produced porous Si specimens by electrochemical anodization and annealed them under a H2 atmosphere. Then, SiGe thin films were grown by gas-source molecular beam epitaxy. We observed the microstructure of the specimens using transmission electron microscopy. The result showed that we succeeded in producing a single-crys- tal continuous Si0.73Ge0.27 film with a 10% relaxation ratio and a low dislocation density on porous Si.展开更多

To evaluate the relative deviation of the quantitative analysis results obtained by the RC, RSM, SEM/EDS, and TEM/EDS methods, a standard sample comprising a Si0.7602Ge0.2398 layer on a Si substrate was used. The correction factor (K-factor) for each technique was determined using multiple measurements. The average and standard deviation of the atomic fraction of Ge in the Si0.7602Ge0.2398 standard sample, as obtained by the RC, RSM, TEM/EDS, and SEM/EDS methods, were 0.2463 ± 0.0016, 0.2460 ± 0.0015, 0.2350 ± 0.0156, and 0.2433 ± 0.0059, respectively. The correction factors for the RC, RSM, TEM/EDS, and SEM/EDS methods were 0.9740, 0.9740, 1.0206, and 0.9856, respectively. The SixGey layer on a silicon substrate was quantitatively evaluated using the RC, RSM, and EDS/TEM methods. The atomic fraction of Ge in the epitaxial SixGey layer, as evaluated by the RC and RSM methods, was 0.1833 ± 0.0007, 0.1792 ± 0.0001, and 0.1631 ± 0.0105, respectively. After evaluating the results of the atomic fraction of Ge in the epitaxial layer, the error was very small, i.e., less than 3%. Thus, the RC, RSM, TEM/EDS, and SEM/EDS methods are suitable for evaluating the composition of Ge in epitaxial layers. However, the thickness of the epitaxial layer, whether the layer is strained or relaxed, and whether the area detected in the TEM and SEM analyses is consistent must be considered.展开更多
