Popis: This paper reports the characteristics and reliability of nMOSFETs using the DBG process under mechanical tensile strain. Under a 0.075% longitudinal tensile strain, the increment rates of I d,sat are 6.55% and 3.51% for 1 μm and 0.135 μm nMOSFET. The increment rate of I d,sat is decreased and saturated, when the gate length is in the sub-micron region. Good fatigue properties and reliability are obtained after dynamic, static bending strain and hot carrier stress under a 0.075% longitudinal tensile strain.
