Abstract
To solve the problem of the limitation to improve device performance in standard Si integration technologies and to develop radiation-harsh devices, the irradiation effects of Si1-xCx source/drain (S/D) n-type metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (n-MOSFETs) have been investigated. It is shown that the drain current and the maximum electron mobility of Si1-xCx n-MOSFETs decrease by electron irradiation. The reduction of the device performance can be explained by the radiation-induced lattice defects in the devices. However, the electron mobility enhancement effect by adding C remained after an electron irradiation up to 5×1017 e/cm2.
