Abstract
In this research, holes mobility enhancement is studied using Silicon Germanium, SiGe technology. SiGe is deposited on silicon substrate to increase carrier mobility in the device thus will increase the drive current too. The main focus of the research is to investigate the effect of using SiGe on holes mobility. In addition, variation thicknesses of SiGe on device characteristic are also studied. Technology nodes that involve in this research are 0.9 µm, 0.8 µm and 0.7 µm. The research has been carried out using Silvaco simulation software. From the modelling result, it is observed that 100% of mobility enhancement was observed for SiGe compared to conventional PMOS.
