摘要
The effect of the Ge-concentration on the subthreshold behaviour of vertical Si/Si1-xGex pMOSFETs and of complementary Si1-xGex/Si nMOSFETs is investigated by using an analytical model, which includes thermioonic emission across the hetero-barrier. It is shown that inclusion of Si1-xGex and strained Si in the source region of the pMOSFET and nMOSFET respectively, suppresses the subthreshold slope roll-up substantially and lowers the leakage current of even the smallest devices with channel lengths down to 50 nm.
