N2 - We performed for the first time full band Monte Carlo simulations of anisotropic hole transport in sub-0.1 μm Si devices. We found from this simulation of 0.05 μm channel p-i-p diodes that the hole drift velocity in the channel with the orientation of with respect to crystallographic direction is enhanced by the velocity overshoot effect, and that the average velocity in the middle of the channel is 25% higher than for a diode in direction at room temperature. These results suggest that the current drive capability of sub-0.1 μm pMOSFETs could be optimized by choosing the channel orientation in the direction.
