- SiGe layer 21C at 600 ° C by D method. This forms Si Ge in the source and drain regions.
- Si Ge is about 1% larger than the lattice constant of Si
- nMOSFET using a SiC layer 21T with an intrinsic stress of 1.6 GPa, a tensile strain of about 0.3% in the gate length direction and a compressive strain of about 0.2% in the height direction can be obtained.
- pMOSF ET using an intrinsic stress—2GPa SiGe layer 21C, a compressive strain of about 0.6% in the gate length direction and a tensile strain of about 0.4% in the height direction can be obtained.
- in-plane biaxial strain can be reduced in the channel region. It can be generated separately. That is, the ladder 15 controls the strain in the channel width direction, and the stress film 20 and the Z or strain applying layer 21 function as a strain introduction layer in the channel length direction. Can be controlled.
- biaxial tensile strain is applied to the subchannel region (see FIG. 6) immediately below the ladder 15 in the channel region in the x and y axis directions.
- tensile strain is applied in the X-axis direction and compressive strain is applied in the y-axis direction, so it is regarded as uniaxial tensile strain.
- FIG. 11A to FIG. 11C are diagrams for explaining the reason why the carrier mobility is improved in the channel region by the above-described configuration.
- the conduction band of Si is known to be larger than that of uniaxial due to biaxial tensile strain. That is, as shown in FIG. 11A, the conduction band (Ec) in the conduction band of the subchannel region (see FIG. 6) just below the ladder 15 is lower than the region just below the space 18. Therefore, electrons flow dominantly in the subchannel region, and biaxial tensile strain is generated in the nMOSFET, which makes it possible to confine electrons in the subchannel region.
- the valence band energy of Si increases the energy of the valence band due to uniaxial compressive strain. That is, as shown in FIG. 11A, the energy of the conduction band is higher in the valence band of the subchannel region than in the region immediately below the space 18. Therefore, the positive holes flow dominantly in the subchannel region, and in the pMOSFET, holes can be confined in the subchannel region where uniaxial compressive strain is generated.
- the in-plane biaxial strain can be controlled independently.
- nMOSFET when 0.3% tensile strain is applied in the x-axis (channel length) direction and 0.5% tensile strain is applied in the y-axis (channel width) direction, mobility is improved from the piezoresistance coefficient.
- the effect of improving mobility by about 1.9 times is obtained compared to the case of one axis.
- FIG. 11B and FIG. 11C are diagrams for explaining the confinement of carriers in the subchannels immediately below the ladder 15.
- the ladder (G1) 15 and the metal gate (G2) 16 are formed of metals having different work functions.
- Fig. 11B shows the band change according to the work function difference in nMOS
- Fig. 11C shows the band change according to the work function difference in pMOS.
- the ladder (G1) 15 uses a metal having a work function larger than that of the metal gate (G2) 16.
- the conduction band of Si directly under the ladder (G1) is compared with that under the metal gate (G2) 16 due to the difference in work function. Since the energy increases, it becomes stronger than the confinement force of electrons in the channel region under the metal gate (G2) 16.
- the ladder (G1) 15 uses a metal having a work function smaller than that of the metal gate (G2) 16.
- the metal gate (G2) 16 For example, if aluminum (A1) is used for ladder (G1) 15 and TiN is used for metal gate (G2) 16, the valence valence band of Si just below ladder (G1) 15 due to the difference in work function (gate) Since the energy is lower than that under G2) 16, the effect is stronger than the confinement of holes in the channel region under metal gate (G2) 16.
- FIG. 11D is a diagram showing carrier confinement when the ladder 15 is formed of an insulator such as a silicon nitride film.
- the electric field exerted directly below the insulator ladder 25 is weaker than Si just below the metal gate 26, so that the bending of the band is reduced. Thereby, the confinement of carriers in the channel region becomes stronger.
- Band bending is shown in Fig. 1. As indicated by ID, control is possible by the film thickness of the insulating film (ladder 15).
- FIG. 12 shows a modification of FIG.
- the ladder 25 is formed of a metal that applies compressive stress
- the metal gate 26 is formed of a metal that applies tensile stress.
- the width of the ladder or space is reduced in the gate structure into which the ladder is introduced, the strain applied to the channel region increases and the change in the band increases. This results in stronger carrier confinement. If the ladder width or space width is reduced to about 10 nm or less, carriers are confined in a very narrow region, and a quantum effect occurs. Thereby, a quantum wire FET can also be realized.
