Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive study of the strain effects on carrier mobility in extremely thin SOI MOSFETs. We demonstrated that the mobility enhancement ratio (Δμe/ μe) increases as SOI thickness (TSOI) decreases from 60 nm to 4 nm under uniaxial <110> tensile stress parallel to the channel. On the other hand, under uniaxial <110> stress perpendicular to the channel (σ//), Δμe/ μedecreases as TSOI decreases in extremely thin SOI MOSFETs with TSOI of less than 10 nm. By measuring the back gate bias dependence of the Δμe/ μe, it is concluded that this Δμe/ μeincrease is originates from the increase of deformation potential (Dac) around MOS interfaces, as well as from the change of effective mass.
