摘要
We report on effective hole mobility in SiGe-based metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) field-effect transistors grown by low-energy plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. The heterostructure layer stack consists of a strained Si0.17Ge0.83 alloy channel on a thick compositionally-graded Si0.52Ge0.48 buffer. Structural assessment was done by high resolution x-ray diffraction. Maximum effective hole mobilities of 760 and 4400 cm(2)/Vs have been measured at 300 and 77 K, respectively. These values exceed the hole mobility in a conventional Si p-MOS device by a factor of 4 and reach the mobility data of conventional Si n-MOS transistors. (C) 2000 American Institute of Physics.
