Abstract
In this work, we have studied gate length (Lgate) scalability of Si0.55Ge0.45 Implant Free Quantum Well (IFQW) pFET with raised and embedded Si0.75Ge0.25 source/drain structures. Although embedded SiGe device shows higher Idsat which can be attributed to thinner Tinv (more scavenging of High-k interfacial layer), raised SiGe device has better short channel control than embedded SiGe device thanks to shallower junction depth. Raised SiGe device can scale down Lgate by 4 nm compared to embedded SiGe device while maintaining identical Ioff. This results in superior intrinsic delay in raised SiGe device.
