The fabrication and characterization of heterojunction PMOSFETs with strain-engineered Si1-x-yGexCy channel is reported for the first time. The study has demonstrated the performance enhancement of partially strain compensated Si0.793Ge0.2C0.007 MOSFET over fully-strained metastable Si0.8Ge0.2 channel. Complete strain compensation by incorporating higher amounts of C (Ge-to-C ratio equals 10:1), however, results in the degradation of device characteristics as compared to the Si1-xGex sample.
