Abstract

Enhancement of transconductance for strained nanowire transistors (s-nwFETs) on (001) and (110) planes are demonstrated by evaluating Id s-Vbg curves of the devices. Normalized transconductance, gm *, for <100> direction s-nwFETs is enhanced by a factor of 2.16 for n-type on (001) plane and 1.83 for p-type on (110) plane. This is due to the lighter effective mass of electrons/holes along the selected channel direction.
