MURI Plans S. E. Thompson March 27, 2005
OUTLINE • SRC and AMD, AMAT, IBM, Intel, TSMC, TI, UMC funded device modeling/characterization work • Plans: Single event transient • Start with SRC strained Si modeling/calibration • SET on State-of-the-art uniaxial strained Si (90-45nm) • SET on Future strained devices • Strained Ge transistor • Strained Si and Ge on (110) wafers
Many Ways to Do Strain stress stress 45nm Si1-xGex Si1-xGex Intel 2004 EDL TI 2004 VLSI AMAT 2004 IEDM IBM 2005 VLSI TSMC/Freescalse 2005 Samsung 2005 VLSI Nitride a-Si a-Si Gate Gate Hoyt Removable film pre-anneal 1-2.5GPa stress film Even more on high stress layers Post salicide

Summary / Next Steps • First-principles quantum mechanical methods for strained Si band structure • Spatially dependent strain-induced band structure • Model charge transport and collection due to single event in FLOOPS/FLOODS • Start with existing MURI developed models • Add strain for Si and Ge transistors
