Abstract
Results of the drift hole mobility in strained and unstrained SiGe alloys are reported for Ge fractions varying from 0 to 30% and doping levels of 1015-1019 cm-3. The mobilities are calculated taking into account acoustic, optical, alloy, and ionized-impurity scattering. The mobilities are then compared with experimental results for a boron doping concentration of 2×1019 cm-3. Good agreement between experimental and theoretical values is obtained. The results show an increase in the mobility relative to that of silicon
