  • Abstract
    An effective method, analyzing the impact of Si1-χGeχ(SiGe) source/drain (S/D) on the uniaxial stress distribution in p-MOSFETs, is presented. Based on this method, principles for device optimization are established, with which device performance is optimized. A new structure featuring SiGe SDE (Source-Drain Extension) is proposed and its advantage over conventional process is verified. 2-D TAURUS simulations are used in a number of carefully designed S/D structures to optimize the p-MOSFETs characteristics with 45nm gate length and 1.2nm oxide thickness. The result shows an extremely low Ioff(17.5nA/μm) and a high Ion(̃500μA/μm) at a VTof 0.32V when VSD=0.5V.
