Abstract
A high performance CMOSFET with a channel along 〈100〉 crystallographic axis has been developed. Current drivability of pMOSFET is improved by about 15% by changing a channel direction from 〈110〉 to 〈100〉 due to an increase in hole mobility and high immunity against short channel effect (SCE). As a result, the drive current of 810 for nMOS and of 420 μA/μm for pMOS with 0.14 μm gate length has been achieved under 1 nA/μm off current at 1.8V operation.
