Abstract

Fabricated strained Si/Si0.8Ge0.2/Si heterojunction PMOSFET devices have been used to calculate the hole mobility in surface-Si and buried SiGe channels. A simple analysis based on the inversion layer mobility model has been used to find the current contribution of the buried SiGe channel to the total drain current. The 'true' effective mobility enhancement in the buried channel of the fabricated Si0.8Ge0.2 PMOSFET device has thus been extracted over a temperature range of 77-300K. The validity of the model has been verified by calculating the drain current as a function of drain voltage at different gate bias considering estimated effective mobility of both parasitic Si and buried SiGe channels.
