摘要
We report a novel Si/Si1-xGex channel with improved noise, current drivability, and reliability using a buried Si0.99C0.01, which can induce higher channel strain for the same Ge concentration. High-kappa dielectrics on Si/Si1-xGex with buried Si0.99C0.01 show lower charge trapping, better leakage current distribution and less flatband voltage shift. Si/Si1-xGex channel p-MOSFET with the buried Si0.99C0.01 shows drive current improvement of up to 20% and better noise immunity.
