Abstract

The hole mobility enhancement can be as high as -18% for SiO2 and ∼20% for high-κ HfO2 gate stack dielectrics with the uniaxial compressive strain (0.2%) parallel to the channel. The highest drain current of -22% at saturation and ∼30% at linear region is observed for the bulk Si PMOS with high-K gate stacks. The drain current and hole mobility of bulk Si PMOS are degraded under the small biaxial tensile strain, while substrate-strained Si device shows opposite. The nonoptimized ring oscillator has the speed enhancement of ∼7% under the uniaxial tensile strain parallel to NMOS channel. Proper package strain also gives the drive-current as well as mobility enhancement at 100°C.
