Popis: | The advantages of using the new flash lamp annealing (FLA) technology and a shallow junction with the consequent low sheet resistivity for metal oxide silicon field effect transistors (MOSFETs) with gate length (L) of 20 nm were clarified by computer simulations based on MOSFETs fabricated with FLA for the first time. In contrast to spike annealing, the shallow junction realized by applying FLA to pMOSFET fabrication enabled the suppression of |Ioff| with a low channel surface dopant concentration, thus providing a higher mobility value and a higher drive current. FLA is promising for improving the performance of sub-30-nm-gate-length MOSFETs. |
