Journal ArticleDOI
Relaxed GexSi1−x structures for III–V integration with Si and high mobility two‐dimensional electron gases in Si
Eugene A. Fitzgerald,Ya-Hong Xie,Don Monroe,P.J. Silverman,J. M. Kuo,Ahmet Refik Kortan,F. A. Thiel,B. E. Weir +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a large lattice constant on Si has been obtained by growing compositionally graded GexSi1−x on Si, and these buffer layers have been characterized with electron-beam-induced current, transmission electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction to determine the extent of relaxation, threading dislocation density, the surface morphology, and the optical properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Very high mobility two‐dimensional hole gas in Si/GexSi1−x/Ge structures grown by molecular beam epitaxy
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of the roughness of the Ge/GeSi interface roughness on the 2D hole gas mobility was studied, where a thin Ge layer was employed as the conduction channel for the two-dimensional hole gas.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Ultra-thin gate dielectrics: they break down, but do they fail?
B. E. Weir,P.J. Silverman,Don Monroe,K.S. Krisch,Muhammad A. Alam,Glenn B. Alers,T.W. Sorsch,Gregory Timp,Frieder H. Baumann,C.T. Liu,Yi Ma,D. Hwang +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors study the effect of gate noise on soft breakdown in high-quality 2-7 nm gate dielectrics and find that soft breakdown becomes more likely for thinner oxides and for oxides stressed at lower voltages.

Semiconductor heterostructure devices with strained semiconductor layers
TL;DR: In this paper, a stained epitaxial layer of either silicon or germanium is located overlying a silicon substrate, with a spatially graded Ge x Si 1-x 1-SBSB overlain by a ungraded Ge x.sbsb.0 Si 1 -SBSb. 0 intervening between the silicon substrate and the strained layer.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Explanation of stress-induced damage in thin oxides
TL;DR: In this paper, a physically-based model for anode hole injection was presented, which explains both voltage polarity asymmetry and sub-threshold behavior of Fowler-Nordheim (FN) stress generated oxide damage down to low V/sub G.
