摘要
Deep submicron elevated source/drain (SID) MOSFET's with epi facets, without facets, and with a second sidewall spacer covering the facets were studied using two-dimensional (2-D) process and device simulations. A slight degradation of drain-induced-barrier-lowering Delta V-t (DIBL) has been projected due to the locally deeper junction beneath the epi facets. The locally deeper junction also shortens the SID extension length if the spacer thickness is kept the same. The shorter extension in turn leads to a smaller parasitic resistance and therefore a higher device drive current. Gate-to-drain capacitance of the elevated S/D MOSFET is decreased as a result of faceting because of the reduced overlap area.
