Abstract
We demonstrate in this paper the possibility to vertically integrate SiGe nanowires in order to use them as vertical channel for field-effect transistors (FETs). We report a threshold voltage close to 3.9 V, an ION/IOFF ratio of 104. The subthreshold slope was estimated to be around 0.9 V/decade and explained by a high traps density at the nanowire core/oxide shell interface with an estimated density of interface traps Dit ∼ 1.2 × 1013 cm−2 eV−1. Comparisons are made with both vertical Si and horizontal SiGe FETs performances.
