摘要
We propose a new process of selective lateral under-etching of bi-layered Si/SiGe gates, aimed at formation of well-controlled notches. Weale Ga mole fraction (less than or equal to 30%) and moderate notch depth render the notch formation compatible with standard CMOS process, and prevent dispersions. The latter in the case of shallow notch (less than or equal to 25nm) are even smaller than in reference Si-gate devices without notch. Higher commutation speed, better transconductance and better SCE/DIBL immunity are demonstrated experimentally on notched gate devices.
