Comparison between and oriented channels in highly strained FDSOI nMOSFETs
2012
We fabricated highly stressed FDSOI nMOSFETs down to 18nm gate length. The impact of different stressors (CESL, STI) is studied for different device geometries and substrates orientation ( or ). We evidence that STI degrades wide devices of intermediate gate length (0.2μm G compared to (−20% mobility) whereas short nMOSFETs are improved along with a (1.6 GPa) tensile CESL (+15% mobility, +6% I ON ). The CESL-induced mobility enhancement can be reproduced rather well for the two channel orientations by the piezo-resistive model and an analytical model of the stress profile.
