摘要
A detailed study of performance in uniaxially strained Si nanowire (NW) transistors fabricated by lateral strain relaxation of biaxial strained-SOI (sSOI) substrate is presented. Two-dimensional strain imaging demonstrates the lateral strain relaxation resulting from nanoscale patterning. An improvement of electron mobility in sSOI NW scaled down to 10-nm width is successfully demonstrated (+55% with respect to SOI NW) due to remaining uniaxial tensile strain. This improvement is maintained even by using hydrogen annealing to form an Omega gate. For short gate length, a strain-induced I-ON gain as high as +40% at L-G = 45 nm is achieved for a multiple-NW active pattern.
