Abstract
A sidewall tensile-strained Si nMOSFET that does not use a conventional relaxed SiGe buffer layer is presented. The key step is that approximately 120 angstroms Si cap layer is grown over the whole wafer to form tensile-strained Si on the sidewall of tetragonal SiGe, in which the lattice constant parallel to the sidewall of the pillar is stretched out and is larger than that of bulk Si. Electrical results show very good Id-Vg and Id-Vd characteristics. This vertical device shows less punchthrough effects in such a short channel and good on-off transistor characteristics.
