摘要
Replacing Si channel with selective epi-Ge in mainstream bulk FinFETs can be a cost-effective solution for sub-7 nm node, but is facing severe challenges because of poor isolation to Si substrates. We demonstrate a suspended Ge gate-all-around (GAA) nanowire nFET (nNWFET) technology with junction isolation on bulk Si. Because of the low junction leakage provided by an embedded Si junction, improved electrostatics of GAA structure utilizing surrounding high-mobility 111 surfaces, and a dislocation-free channel by selectively removing the defective Ge/Si interface, a high current on/off ratio (ION/IOFF) of 5×105, which is comparable to the state-of-the-art Ge nFETs on Ge-on-insulator (GeOI), is first demonstrated using a bulk FinFET-compatible process. © 2016 IEEE.
