Abstract
This paper describes a self-aligned SiGe MOS-gate field-effect transistor (FET) having a modulation-doped (MOD) quantum wire channel. An analytical model based on modified charge control equations accounting for the quantum wire channel, is presented predicting the transport characteristics of the MOS-gate MODFET structure. In particular, transport characteristics of devices having strained SiGe layers, realized on Si or Ge substrates, are computed. The transconductance gm and unity-current gain cutoff frequency (fT) are also computed as a function of the gate voltage VG. The calculated values of fT suggest the operation of one-dimensional SiGe MODFETs to be around 200 GHz range at 77°K, and 120 GHz at 300°K.
