Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Strained Si is widely used in modern MOSFET to enhance carrier mobility. Theoretical studies attribute the mechanism of the mobility enhancement to band deformation by strain. We experimentally investigated the relationship between the strain and the band deformation by measuring strain and the band dispersion precisely. In the case of biaxially strained Si on SiGe alloy, we found that the epitaxial strain is retained through the strained Si layer to the very surface by XRD and LEED I-V measurements. For the strain evaluation of uniaxially strained Si by mechanical stress application in UHV, we developed UHV Raman system. Using the system, we found that the mechanically applied uniaxial stress is distributed inhomogeneously in the sample. The band structure of uni- and bi-axial strained Si was investigated by ARPES, and deformation of the band structure was observed.
