  • Abstract
    In this paper, new model which includes strain-dependent hole massed in weakly stressed silicon is presented, which is the case at room temperature. The band mixing (BM) mass change effect due to the mixing between the light hole and the spin-orbit split-off bands, and the degeneracy lifting (DL) mass change effect caused by the decrease of the interaction between the heavy- and light-hole bands are taken into account.
