Abstract :
Electron mobility on (100) and (110) planar FETs and SOI FinFETs was evaluated. It is experimentally demonstrated that the (110) sidewall of FinFETs does not present a drawback in terms of electron mobility - contrary to results obtained on (110) planar MOSFETs. This is comprehensively explained by a combination of first principles and empirical approach closely matching the experimental data.
