Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of MOSFET fabrication, and in particular to the formation of Ge channel MOSFETs grown on SiGe/Si virtual substrates.
- Channel engineering in the silicon-germanium (SiGe) materials system can result in increased electron and hole mobilities over conventional bulk Si, leading to enhanced metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) performance.
- MOSFET metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor
- increases in mobility () realized through channel engineering lead to increases in MOSFET drain currents and ultimately to higher switching speeds.
- the low hole mobility of bulk Si ho ⁇ 0.5rf «m> «) leads to increased p-MOSFET gate widths to compensate for their reduced drive currents.
- Compressively strained SiGe layers deposited on bulk Si and capped with bulk Si to preserve the Si/Si ⁇ 2 gate interface, lead to modest increases in hole mobility, though electron mobility is unchanged. Increased process complexity and degraded short channel effects further moderate gains in circuit performance through this channel architecture.
- Tensile strained Si layers grown on relaxed SiGe virtual substrates offer large gains in electron and hole mobility, but the ratio of electron to hole mobility remains unbalanced.
- MODFETs Schottky-gated modulation-doped field-effect transistors
- CMOS complementary MOSFET
- Pure Ge has the highest hole mobility of all semiconductors, along with an electron mobility comparable to bulk Si.
- MOSFETs based on pure Ge channels thus offer large performance gains over bulk Si.
- Effective mobilities as high as 1000 cm 2 /V-s have been reported for n- and p-MOSFETs fabricated on bulk Ge and utilizing germanium oxynitride as a gate material.
- bulk Ge substrates are not an economical manufacturing technology for integrated circuits.
- an effective hole mobility of 430 cm 2 /V-s has been attained for relaxed Ge deposited directly onto a (111) Si substrate with no buffers and utilizing a Si ⁇ 2 gate.
- neither of these device structures provides the consistent control of defect density (imparted by SiGe virtual substrate technology) or well-developed gate interface (as, for example, in Si/Si ⁇ 2) required for large-scale integrated applications.

- a thin Si layer 65 that may be strained or partially relaxed is provided on either the strained or relaxed Ge channel layer 64.
- the thin Si layer may be grown at reduced temperature (Tgrowth ⁇ 550°C) initially to improve surface mo ⁇ hology and stabilize the compressively strained Ge channel layer against strain- induced undulations, forming a strained Ge channel layer that is substantially planar.
- the thin Si layer may then be grown at high temperatures (Tmwth > 400°C) to improve the growth rate in chemical vapor deposition.
- the thin Si layer 65 may be initially grown upon strained or relaxed Ge channel layer at low temperatures to improve the mo ⁇ hology of this layer and form a thin Si layer that is substantially planar.

- effective hole mobility 73 corresponds to a bulk silicon control p-MOSFET.
- the strained-Ge channel devices exhibit a peak hole mobility of 1160 cm 2 /V-s.
- FIG. 8 is a graph that demonstrates effective hole mobility enhancements 81 and 82 versus effective vertical field.
- Effective hole mobility enhancement 81 corresponds to a first strained Ge p-MOSFET device with a Si cap thickness of 60 A
- effective hole mobility enhancement 82 corresponds to a second strained Ge p-MOSFET device with a Si cap thickness of 50 A.
- FIG. 8 shows that mobility enhancement 81 is degraded as compared to mobility enhancement 82. This indicates that the holes can be pulled into the Si cap layer 65 where their mobility is not as high as in the Ge channel layer 64.
- the consistency of the Ge channel hole mobility enhancement 82 over a wide range of vertical electric fields demonstrates that maintaining a sufficiently low Si cap thickness (less than approximately 50 A) allows the high field mobility enhancement to be completely preserved.
