Gate-all-around n-MOSFETs with uniaxial tensile strain-induced performance enhancement scalable to sub-10-nm nanowire diameter

The effects of high-level uniaxial tensile strain on the performance of gate-all-around (GAA) Si n-MOSFETs are investigated for nanowire (NW) diameters down to 8 nm. Suspended strained-Si NWs with ~2-GPa uniaxial tension were realized by nanopatterning-induced unilateral relaxation of ultrathin-body...
