Abstract

High performance high Ge fraction intrinsic Si1 - xGex-heterochannel MOSFETs with embedded Si1 - xGex source/drain electrodes fabricated by the use of a low thermal budget process below 700 °C are demonstrated for the first time. The carrier mobility is very high in spite of high concentration impurity doping to the substrates for the threshold voltage control. It is suggested that this superior device characteristic is caused by suppression of impurity diffusion into the Si1 - xGex-heterochannel, the high Ge fraction in the Si1 - xGex-heterochannel and compressive stress applied to the Si1 - xGex-heterochannel due to the embedded Si1 - xGex source/drain.
