Abstract

A multi-layer channel MOSFET (ML-MOSFET) and its fabrication process were proposed for future CMOS application. ML-MOSFET has multi-Si channel layers stacked vertically, so that the drain current per 1 μm gate width on wafer is expected to increase with the number of channel layers compared to conventional double-gate MOSFET. I on = 3.9 mA/μm was obtained for ML-MOSFET with three Si channel layers (L g : 10 nm, T Si : 2.5 nm) by the device simulation. Fabrication process of multi-layer channel using selective etching for SiGe/Si stacked layers was also investigated.
