摘要
Si1-xGex-channel pFETs can combine enhanced intrinsic performance with a threshold voltage shift, therefore this technology possibly facilitates the use of high-k/metal gate stacks in high-performance applications. This review presents imec's work on a new device concept using Si1-xGex-channels, the implant-free quantum well transistor, that can additionally provide improved short-channel scalability, as well as further performance enhancement when compared to conventional silicon and Si1-xGex-channel pFETs. Furthermore, circuit simulations of Si1-xGex-channel pFETs indicate that this technology shows even more enhanced potential at reduced supply voltages, and also in circuits that allow operation at lower electric fields such as stacked transistors. Finally it is demonstrated that the layout sensitivity of Si1-xGex-channel pFETs is an important concern, especially for variations of the device width. The effectiveness of another stress technique, Si1-xGex Source/Drain, is shown to be decreased when used in combination with Si1-xGex-channel pFETs.
