While bringing the Si:C S/D stressors closer to the channel improves their effectiveness in imparting tensile strain to the channel, a degradation in ballistic efficiency Bsat due to increased carrier scattering is observed. This is compensated, however, by an increase in the carrier injection velocity vinj, thereby resulting in an on-state current IOn enhancement of ∼7 % in nFETs with channel-proximate Si:C S/D over nFETs with conventional e-Si:C S/D. In addition, the impact of channel orientation on carrier transport characteristics for the new process integration scheme is also evaluated in this paper. ©2010 IEEE. | Source Title: | 2010 Proceedings of the European Solid State Device Research Conference, ESSDERC 2010 | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/69561 | ISBN: | 9781424466610 | DOI: | 10.1109/ESSDERC.2010.5618195 |
