Abstract :
We hereby present for the first time a successful integration of ultrathin (3.2nm) c-Si0.8Ge0.2 layers in Fully Depleted (FD) SOI pMOSFETs (total body thickness: 7.8nm) combined with Si0.7Ge0.3(:B) Raised Source-Drain. Comparisons with SOI devices show that the c-Si0.8Ge0.2/SOI channels enable to tune the threshold voltage by +120mV (with excellent variability performance AVt=1.47mV.μm) without SCE or DIBL degradation (60mV/V @ L=23nm). Moreover c-Si0.8Ge0.2/SOI combined with Si0.7Ge0.3(:B) RSD leads to significant gain in Access resistance (-60%), transconductance and Isat (+170% & +220% @ L=23nm).
