Abstract

We show that poly-SiGe can be readily integrated as a gate material into an existing CMOS technology to achieve significant increase in the transistor performance. In order to preserve the standard salicidation scheme, a buffer poly-Si layer is introduced in the gate stack. PMOST channel profiles are optimized to account for the change of the gate workfunction. High-performance CMOS 0.18 μm devices are manufactured using p- and n-type poly-Si/Si0.8Ge0.2 gates.
