Summary :

An effective way to realize scaled CMOS with both requirements of high current drive and low supply voltage is to introduce high mobility channel such as strained Si. This paper proposes a new device structure using the strained-Si channel, strained-Si-on-Insulator (strained-SOI) MOSFET, applicable to sub-100 nm Si CMOS technology nodes. The device structure and the advantages of strained-SOI MOSFETs are presented. It is demonstrated that strained-SOI MOSFETs are successfully fabricated by combining SIMOX technology with re-growth of strained Si and that n- and p-MOSFETs have mobility of 1.6 and 1.3 times higher than the universal one, respectively. Furthermore, it is also shown that ultra-thin SiGe-on-Insulator (SGOI) virtual substrates with higher Ge content, necessary to further increase mobility and to realize fully-depleted SOI MOSFETs, can be made by oxidation of SGOI structure with lower Ge content.
