High Mobility Strained Si/SiGe Heterostructure MOSFETs
Strained Siand SiGe-based heterostructure MOSFETs grown on relaxed SiGe virtual substrates exhibit dramatic electron and hole mobility enhancements over bulk Si, making them promising candidates for next generation CMOS devices. The most heavily investigated heterostructures consist of a single strained Si layer grown upon a relaxed SiGe substrate. While this configuration offers significant pe...

In this work, the epitaxially grown, lattice–matched p-Si/Si1-xGex/Si inverted remote doped structures have been characterized using X-ray and electrical techniques. The Si cup layer thickness () and Ge content (x) have been determined from computer simulation of intensity and angular sepration of (004) peaks observed in the X-ray diffraction pattern due to misorientaion of corresponding Bragg ...
متن کاملPhotomodulated Reflectance Spectroscopy of GaAsBi/GaAs layers grown by MBE
The III-bismides are considered to be a very attractive set of III-V alloys due to their potential applications in photonic and spintronic devices. The incorporation of bismuth into GaAs, with its band anti-crossing effect in the valence band of GaAs, leads to a decrease in the temperature dependence of the bandgap. Such a material may be very useful in designing temperature-insensitive semicon...
متن کاملProperties and Applications of Crystalline Si1-x-yGexCy alloys
We have used both electrical and optical characterization methods to study the effect of carbon on the valence band offset of compressively strained Si1-x-yGexCy / Si (100) heterojunctions grown by Rapid Thermal Chemical Vapor Deposition (RTCVD) with substitutional C levels from 0% to 2.5%. Our work indicates that the change in the bandgap of Si1-x-yGexCy as carbon is added is entirely accommod...
متن کاملMechanoelectrochemical catalysis of the effect of elastic strain on a platinum nanofilm for the ORR exerted by a shape memory alloy substrate.
Both the ligand effect and surface strain can affect the electrocatalytic reactivity. In that matter exists a need to be fundamentally understood; however, there is no effective strategy to isolate the strain effect in electrocatalytic systems. In this research we show how the elastic strain in a platinum nanofilm varies the catalytic activity for the oxygen reduction reaction, a key barrier to...
