The characteristics of Si0.2Ge0.8 channel PFETs fabricated directly on Si (110) surfaces have been investigated. The saturation drain current and the hole mobility of a Si0.2Ge0.8 (110) PFET are enhanced by 70% and by 80% for the < 110 > channel, as compared with that of a bulk Si (110) PFET. For comparison with a Si (100) PFET, a SiGe < 110 >/(110) PFET has similar to 200% hole mobility enhancement. The performance difference of the SiGe < 110 >/(110) and < 100 >/(110) PFET is about 2.7 times when considering mobility, and these effects are explained.
