Abstract

We have studied in depth the performance of superficial and buried strained-Si/SixGe1-x channel Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect-Transistors (MOSFET). To do so, we developed a two-dimensional simulator in which Poisson, Schrodinger and Boltzmann equations have been self-consistently solved. The dependences of the performance enhancement on the germanium mole fraction obtained in these devices both at low- and high-longitudinal electric fields in the channel are described. The simulator has been validated by reproducing experimental results.
