This letter provides channel-stress behavior results induced by a local strain technique which consists of the process combination of a damascene-gate and top-cut tensile stress SiN liner for narrow channel-width nFETs using 3-D stress simulations and demonstrations. The dummy-gate removal, which is an intrinsic step in the damascene-gate process, is found to enhance tensile channel stress along the...
The stress effect at the channel region of pFETs with compressive stress liner (c-SL) and eSiGe using replacement gate technology is firstly investigated in detail based on the combination of UV-Raman spectroscopy and 3D stress simulation. The gate length effect for the channel stress is confirmed by measurement and simulation. Moreover, the Ion dependence on the channel width is also investigated...
Damascene gate process enhances the drivability in shorter gate length region, as compared to conventional gate 1st process for pFETs with compressive stress SiN liner and embedded SiGe. The origin of the gate length effect is investigated for the first time by using the UV-Raman spectroscopy. Moreover, the relationship between channel strain and gate width for damascene gate pFETs is analyzed and...
