Scaling of strained-Si n-MOSFETs into the ballistic regime and associated anisotropic effects.

Scaling of strained-Si n-MOSFETs into the ballistic regime and associated anisotropic effects.

The dependence of the strain-induced on-current improvement in n-MOSFETs on scaling and the crystallographic orientation of the channel is investigated by self-consistent full-band Monte Carlo simulation. For a channel orientation along the <110> direction, the enhancement decreases weakly fro...
