Abstract :
A 2nd generation of Implant Free Quantum Well pFETs is presented in this work. SiGe25%-embedded Source/Drain was implemented, leading to an excellent short channel control and logic performance (1mA/um-ION@-1V). No narrow-width effect was found and a multi-VTH strategy is also offered. Performance of the strained-IFQW pFETs was finally demonstrated at lower VDD.
