Summary:In this paper, an analytical thresholdvoltage model is developed for a short-channeldouble-material-gate (DMG) strained-silicon ( s −Si )on silicon-germanium ( 1 X X Si − Ge ) MOSFET structure. The proposed threshold voltage model is based on theso called virtual-cathode potential formulation. Thevirtual-cathode potential is taken as minimumchannel potential along the transverse direction of thechannel and is derived from two-dimensional (2D)potential distribution of channel region. The 2Dchannel potential is formulated by solving the 2DPoisson’s equation with suitable boundary conditionsin both the strained-Si layer and relaxed 1 X X Si − Gelayer. The effects of a number of device parameterslike the Ge mole fraction, Si film thickness and gatelengthratio have been considered on thresholdvoltage. Further, the drain induced barrier lowering(DIBL) has also been analyzed for gate-length ratioand amount of strain variations. The validity of thepresent 2D analytical model is verified with ATLASTM,a 2D device simulator from Silvaco Inc. KCI Citation Count: 1
