Abstract

Effective hole mobility enhancements of 50% at room temperature and over 100% at 90 K, compared to all-Si controlled devices, are demonstrated by placing a buried epitaxial GexSi1-x layer 7.5 to 10.0 nm beneath the gate oxide of a PMOS transistor. Also mobility degradation caused by misfit dislocations in the inversion region is seen in structures with GexSi1-x layers that exceed the equilibrium critical thickness.
