Abstract

For nanoscale CMOS applications, strained-silicon devices have been receiving considerable attention owing to their potential for achieving higher performance and compatibility with conventional silicon processing. In this work we present the analysis of effect of strain on threshold voltage of biaxial strained-Si/Si1-x Gex nMOSFET taking into consideration the quantum mechanical effect (QME).
