Abstract

ABSTRACTThe experimental application of strained-Si / relaxed-Si1−xGex heterostructures to n-MOSFETs is discussed, focusing on the enhanced mobility provided by the strain. This paper provides an overview of the theoretically-predicted electronic properties of these heterostructures, as well as their growth. Several practical issues which arise in MOS applications are covered, including the effect of the relaxed-Si1−xGex, buffer layers on diode performance, and the observation of self-heating effects in the output characteristics of the MOS transistors.
