Abstract

The temperature dependence of strainenhanced electron mobility in nMOSFETs is investigated by using a self-consistent Schrödinger- Poisson solver. The calculated results suggest that vertical compressive stress is more efficient to maintain the strain-enhanced electron mobility than longitudinal tensile stress in high temperature condition.
