Piezoresistivity in unstrained and strained SOI MOSFETs
Résumé
We hereby present the extraction and the study of piezoresistive (PR) coefficients in MOSFETs built on unstrained and strained SOI substrates. We have evidenced a strong dependence of these PR with the inversion charge density in particular for PMOS. These results are well explained by the Si bandstructure calculation which enlightens the effect of the strain and of the electric confinement on carrier mobility, up to high tensile strain values.
