P+ implantation into SiGe virtual substrate induces a narrow defect region slightly below the SiGe/Si interface,which gives rise to strongly enhanced strain relaxation of SiGe virtual substrate. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) tests show that the degree of relaxation of SiGe layer is 96% while 85% before implantation. After annealed,the sample appeared free of Threading Dislocation densities (TDs) within the SiGe layer to the limit of Trans-mission Electron Microscopy (TEM) analysis. Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) test of strained Si channel surface shows that Root Mean Square (RMS) is 1.1nm. The Direct Current (DC) characters measured by HP 4155B indicate that the maximum saturated transconductance is twice bigger than that of bulk Si PMOSFET.展开更多

In this work, the impact of biaxial strain together with （100） channel orientation on hole mobility is explored. The biaxial strain was incorporated by the growth of a relaxed SiGe buffer layer,serving as the template for depositing a Si layer in a state of biaxial tensile strain. The channel orientation was implemented with a 45^o rotated design in the device layout,which changed the channel direction from （110） to （100） on Si （001） surface. The maximum hole mobility is enhanced by 30% due to the change of channel direction from （110） to （100） on the same strained Si （s-Si） p-MOSFETs,in addition to the mobility enhancement of 130% when comparing s-Si pMOS to bulk Si pMOS both along （110） channels. Discussion and analysis are presented about the origin of the mobility enhancement by channel orientation along with biaxial strain in this work.展开更多
