We propose a novel multi-gate CMOS structure having a high mobility channel with optimal strain configuration, realized by appropriately merging globally-strained substrates with lateral strain relaxation technique. We report successful fabrication and operation of uniaxially-strained SGOI Fin and Tri-Gate pMOSFETs. The improved SCE immunity and the performance enhancement are demonstrated.
We systematically study the mechanism of source and drain parasitic resistance (R SD) reduction in amorphous InGaZnO TFT. Regardless of the S/D processes, R SD reduction is caused by the increase in carrier density. Physical analyses show that the fluctuations of In concentration at the InGaZnO surface are responsible for the enhancement of carrier density. Top-gate InGaZnO TFT fabricated with R SD reduction process shows good short-channel immunity. Short-channel InGaZnO TFT with reduced R SD is promising for high-density back end of line (BEOL) Tr. in Si LSI.
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.
