Abstract
We propose and demonstrate a new channel strain control technology enabling to realize both high performance tensile strain Ge-on-insulator (GOI) n-MOSFETs and compressive strain GOI p-MOSFETs on a same substrate. It is found that additional oxidation at 850 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">o</sup> C after Ge condensation changes the strain condition in GOI from 1.8 % compressive strain to 0.5% tensile strain, resulting in the electron mobility enhancement of 2.1. Furthermore, thinning GOI channel thickness introduces significant mobility enhancement attributable to GOI band modulation, leading to electron mobility of 777 cm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> /Vs in n-MOSFETs with GOI thickness of 2.5 nm. For performance enhancement of p-MOSFETs, (110)-oriented SGOI formation by Ge condensation is studied. It is found that SGOI with the Ge fraction of 54 % maximizes the hole mobility from the viewpoints of both strain and Ge fractions.
