We report the first demonstration of scaled Ge p-channel FinFET devices fabricated on a Si bulk FinFET baseline using the Aspect-Ratio-Trapping (ART) technique [1]. Excellent subthreshold characteristics (long-channel subthreshold swing SS=76mV/dec at 0.5V), good SCE control and high transconductance (1.2 mS/µm at 1V, 1.05 mS/µm at 0.5V) are achieved. The Ge FinFET presented in this work exhibits highest g m /SS at V dd =1V reported for non-planar unstrained Ge pFETs to date.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
