摘要：
In this paper, we have examined the effect of quantum confinement of carriers on the threshold voltage of strained-silicon (s-Si) nanoscale Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors (MOSFETs). Using results from quantum theory and two-dimensional simulation, we show that strain-induced threshold voltage roll-off in s-Si nanoscale MOSFETs can be overcome by decreasing s-Si layer thickness. Based on our simulation study, we provide an optimization between threshold voltage, strain and s-Si layer thickness. © 2008 World Scientific Publishing Company.
