Abstract

Strained Si nanowire FETs of nanowire width (W) of W=155nm and W=5000nm, are evaluated by Id-Vbg characteristics at various temperatures. Transconductance (gm) and subthreshold slope are obtained from the Id-Vbg characteristics. The normalized gm (gm *) increases by a factor of 1.38 for W=155nm and 3.13 for W=5000nm. Subthreshold slope decreases 22% for W=5000nm and 42% for W=155nm. This improvement is due to suppression of electron-phonon scattering at low temperature. This also indicates that the influence of electron-phonon interaction on gm enhancement is different compared to that in bulk Si.
