    Abstract

    Nanowire transistors (NW Tr.) are promising device structures for ultralow-power LSI [1-3]. In our previous work, we demonstrated I on improvement of short-channel NW nFETs and pFETs by adopting 100-oriented NW channel instead of conventional 110 channel [3]. Although low-field mobility in 100- and 110-oriented NW Tr. have been thoroughly studied [3,4], the origin of higher I on in short-channel 100-oriented NW Tr. than in 110 NW Tr. is still unclear. In order to clarify the determining factors of I on in short-channel devices, understanding of high-field carrier velocity as well as low-field mobility is required.
