SiGe-On-Insulator (SGOI): Two Structures for CMOS Application

Abstract

Two SiGe-on-insulator (SGOI) structures for CMOS application are presented: surface-channel strained-Si on SGOI (SSOI) and dual-channel SGOI structures. Comparisons between two structures are made from both device performance and CMOS process point of view. We have demonstrated both structures on SGOI, and have fabricated n-MOSFET’s and p-MOSFET’s on those two structures respectively. Device characteristics are presented. The devices show enhancement on both electron and hole mobilities.
