摘要
The impact ionization phenomenon in strained-SiGe p-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (pMOSFETs) with a single quantum well (SQW) is investigated. From the universal relationship between impact ionization efficiency and the electric field in the pinch-off region, the strain-induced increase in the impact ionization efficiency of strained-SiGe pMOSFETs with different Ge contents can be attributed to a decrease in band gap energy, taking into account the increased mean free path of the hole in the SQW-SiGe channel.
