  • Abstract
    This paper performed a detail study on the strained PMOS fabricated on the (110) Si substrate. We showed that in the (110) plane, the four-fold symmetry direction, <111´>, has the ideal band-structure features for the uniaxial-process-induced hole mobility enhancement. We then characterized the mobility and back scattering ratio of the (110)/<111´> PMOS with multiple process induced stressors.
