A finite element method based on stress simulation is implemented in this research to investigate the effects of STI geometric profiles on n-type MOSFET performance. The mechanism for transferring STI and CESL intrinsic stresses under the aforementioned conditions to the silicon (Si) channel is explained by considering the major procedures of process-induced stress. Results indicate that the approaches of suitable sunken STI patterns are more useful than those of a flat STI prototype because a difference in the resultant stress distribution for the Si channel region is introduced by the device profiles. The piezoresistance effect of Si is being actively explored at present to improve the characteristic of transistors because this effect has been extensively used in mechanical stress technology. A crystal strain resulting in a change in electrical conductivity is observed because of the aforementioned piezoresistance effect. Induced mobility gains from STI and CESL stressors are systematically observed. Integrating a tensile CESL and an STI stressor region results in almost 10% to 20% enhancement in carrier mobility. The critical geometric factors of the NMOSFET structure significantly affect the stress distribution in the channel region. Therefore, four critical designed factors including S/D lengths, gate width, STI length and depth of STI are analyzed to ANOVA. However, the effect of the S/D length on the device performance enhancement of NMOSFETs with a sunken STI stressor combined with a tensile CESL can be accurately calculated using 3D stress simulations.接觸蝕刻終止層淺溝槽隔離有限元素模擬載子遷移率CESLSTIFinite element analysiscarrier mobility具有深度 STI 的NMOSFET 之應變工程模擬Simulation of a sunken STI induced strained-NMOSFET
