Abstract :
InxGa1-xAs is a very promising candidate for future NFETs. The performance tradeoffs in biaxial-strained In0.75Ga0.25As and GaAs NMOS DGFETs have been thoroughly investigated under ballistic transport, taking in to account non-parabolic full band structure, quantum effects, BTBT and SCE. The real and complex band structures for (001)/(111) orientations and biaxial tensile/compressive strains are calculated using LEPM. The main factors affecting the performance of the III-V materials, are the mefr, ¿E¿L, Eg and mTunnel. 4% biaxial compressive strain reduces leakage current in In0.75Ga0.25 AS (111) NMOS DGFET below the 100nA/um. ION of GaAs (001) NMOS DGFET can be increased up to 4mA/um from 3.3mA/um with the application of biaxial tensile strain.
