Abstract

Surface strained Si(ε-Si) heterostructures grown on relaxed Si1-xGex virtual substrates offer enhanced carrier mobilities over bulk Si for both n-type and p-type metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors. While single-channel heterostructures grown on Si1-xGex with x=0.2-0.35 demonstrate electron mobility enhancements of 1.8-2.0,2-4 the hole mobility enhancement in such heterostructures was minimal at high vertical effective fields.
