Abstract

The effects of alloy scattering on channel mobility in long channel MOSFETs were studied. A combination of a buried Si0.2Ge0.8 channel and a strained Si surface channel grown on a relaxed Si0.5Ge0.5 virtual substrate was used to achieve nearly symmetric electron and hole mobility in the same heterostructure. Significant hole mobility enhancement was achieved for buried channel compositions where alloy scattering was expected to be the most severe.
