Abstract

We fabricated strained-SOI(sSOI) n-/p-MOSFETs and investigated the electron/hole mobility characteristics. The subthreshold characteristics of sSOI MOSFETs were similar to those of conventional SOI MOSFET. However, The electron mobility of sSOI nMOSFETs was larger than that of the conventional SOI nMOSFETs. These mobility enhancement effects are attributed to the subband modulation of silicon conduction band.
