  2. Layout of Talk • Motivation • Physics of Hole Mobility Enhancement • Analytical Model • Calibration and Results • Conclusions IWCE 2004

  3. Motivation • Strain offers new possibilities for improved device performance by improving mobility • Mobility enhancement induces no capacitance penalty • Modeling essential for device optimization • Empirical models often too awkward, difficult to capture many-parameter interactions • Need physically-based compact model IWCE 2004

  4. 0.2 0.1 ky (2p/a) 0 0.2 -0.2 0 -0.1 0.1 kx (2p/a) Physics of Mobility Enhancement I • Consider only heavy hole band H W • W regions have much lower mass than H regions “effective mass” IWCE 2004

  5. 0.15 Compression 0.1 0.05 ky (2p/a) 0 -0.05 Tension -0.1 -0.15 0 0.1 -0.1 kx (2p/a) Physics of Mobility Enhancement II • Redistribution in k-space caused by stress • Compressive stress lowers energy of W regions, tensile stress lowers energy of H regions • Hole mobility improved under compression – reduced effective mass W H IWCE 2004

  6. Analytic Band Representation • Create a very simple model to mimic the basic features: • Use heavy holes only - for stress regions of interest, hh are ~85% of overall population • Represent hh bands in xz plane using superposition of ellipsoids • Relative energy and curvatures of the bands modulated through stress • Relative populations and effective masses of holes modulated by stress Lowercase: “transport” coordinates Uppercase: Principal coordinates W H IWCE 2004

  7. Model Details - Mobility • Obtain expression for mobility component along field direction • Use MB statistics to approximate relative populations, D is energy separation of ellipsoids IWCE 2004

  8. Model Details – Stress • Express given stress in crystal coordinates, separate into shear, biaxial, and asymmetric components • Typical Case: Sxx and Szz stress in [110] and perpendicular direction • Express bandstructure related parameters as expansions of shear, biaxial stress • Only important parameters: • d1, mb2 IWCE 2004

  9. High-Field Behavior and Model ky Vsat-controlled kx Low-field ky High-field kx Low-field • High energy carriers tend to symmetrize population • Modeled through temperature term IWCE 2004

  10. Model Calibration and Results Short Device Long Device • Calibration to wafer-bending data • Long (2mm) and short (65 nm) devices • Two channel orientations • Compressive and tensile bending Tension Compression IWCE 2004

  11. Conclusions • Presented analytic model for strain-induced mobility enhancement for holes in (100) Si • Model captures mobility behavior as a function of arbitrary in-plane stress, electric field, channel orientation, and temperature • Model calibration extends from 400 MPa tensile to 700 MPa compressive IWCE 2004
