A hierarchical, model-based understanding of the key physical effects underlying stress-induced device performance gain is presented, focusing on the large gains seen for uniaxial PMOS stress conditions and the vertical stress impact on NMOS gain.
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.
