Abstract :
Si surface properties and electrical characteristics in n- and p-MOSFETs with 2-6 degree tilted off-axis (110) channel were investigated for the first time. The transconductance of p-MOSFET with off-axis channel was significantly degraded than that of normal channel on (110) plane, whereas that of n-MOSFET was slightly improved than that of normal channel. The changes were larger than those observed in slightly off-axis (100) samples. It was also found that the gate leakage current and 1/f noise in (110) samples were sensitive to off-axis angle.
