N2 - Fundamental transport properties of Si (110) pMOSFETs are systematically investigated. Inversion-layer capacitance (inversion-layer thickness) of (110) pFETs is larger (smaller) than that of (100) pFETs owing to larger effective mass normal to the surface in (110) pFETs. Peculiar substrate impurity concentration (Nsub) dependence of low-field mobility (μ): μ increase with Nsub increase in (110)/〈110〉 pFETs, is observed for the first time. High μ even in high Nsub regime in (110) pFETs is caused by large subband energy splitting. Although uniaxial stress effects on μ is weaker in high-Nsub (110) pFETs than in (100) pFETs, much higher μ without strain leads to excellent performance of strained (110)/〈110〉 pFETs.
