N2 - Hole mobility (μh) enhancement by double gate (DG) mode in (001)/〈110〉 ultrathin-body SOI pFETs with sub-iOnm SOI thickness (TSOI) is investigated. It is found μh in DG mode (μDG) is greatly enhanced in all the measured TSOI in comparison with single gate mode. μDG of sub-10nm TSOI exceeds even the universal mobility at high surface carrier densities. The higher μDG is attributed to average effective mass reduction due to a population increase in the light hole band. Subband calculations confirm this model. It is also demonstrated that higher μDG is further enhanced by uniaxial stress.
