Abstract

Extremely-thin body (ETB) nano-sheet CMOS is expected as a device structure to realize future continuous scaling. Thus, channel materials to maintain high mobility in such an ETB channel are strongly needed. It is revealed through analyses based on a new physical model of thickness fluctuation scattering that ETB GOI channels, particularly (111) GOI channels, are promising for this purpose. High-quality ETB GOI channels are formed by the Ge condensation and smart-cut technology. The operations of Ge p- and n-MOSFETs with the body thickness down to 2 nm are experimentally demonstrated and the body thickness dependencies of the effective mobility are examined. The importance of strain and surface orientation engineering on mobility in an ETB region is addressed.
