In this paper, the hot-carrier induced oxide trap and its correlation with enhanced degradation in strained CMOS devices have been reported for the first time. First, the ID-RTN (drain current random telegraph noise) has been employed to study the HC stress induced slow oxide traps in strained nMOSFETs and pMOSFETs. Secondly, different behavior of the slow traps in nMOSFET and pMOSFET has been observed...
An optimized 4-way stress integration on partially-depleted SOI (PD-SOI) CMOS is presented. An embedded-SiGe process and a compressive-stressed liner film are used to induce compressive strain in the PMOS (PMOS "stressors"). A stress memorization process and a tensile-stressed liner film are used to induce tensile strain in the NMOS (NMOS "stressors"). With optimization, the different...
