Abstract

We systematically studied short-channel mobility (μ) in SOI nanowire transistors (NW Tr.). The strain induced in the NW channel dominates short-L μ. μ of short-L 〈110〉 NW nFETs largely increases due to vertical compressive strain. We achieved further strain enhancement in NW channel by stress memorization technique (SMT). μ increase by SMT is much larger in NW Tr. than in planar Tr. In 〈110〉 NW nFETs, Ion on the same DIBL increases by as much as 58% by SMT thanks to significant RSD reduction in addition to μ increase, while Ion degradation of pFETs is minimal.
