Abstract :
The paper demonstrates the mue anisotropy in (110) ultra-thin body nFETs for the first time. It is found that lang110rang mue is higher than lang100rang mue in an ultimately thin SOI nFETs, though lang110rang mue is smaller than lang100rang mue in bulk or relatively thick silicon-on-insulator (SOI). Result reveals that this is opposite to (110) bulk nFETs, which is important in understanding the physics behind the carrier transport in (110) nFETs and in the selection of the proper channel direction in an ultimately scaled-down device structure.
