  • Abstract
    This paper shows, for the first time, the successful introduction of recessed, strained Si0.8Ge0.2 in the source and drain regions of pMOS MuGFET devices, improving the on-state current of these devices by 25%, at a fixed off-state condition. The improvement is shown to be a combined effect of compressive stress introduced along the channel, and of a reduced series resistance.
