    Abstract

    Geometric Scaling and high channel doping incorporate loss in mobility. To compensate this, substrate engineering innovations like SOI(Silicon On Insulator) and strained silicon technologies are introduced. In this paper NMOS is designed on Strained Si/relaxed Si0.8Ge0.2 heterostructure using TCAD. Electrical analysis of Strained-Si nMOSFET has been done by the ATLAS 2D simulator using low field Arora mobility model. A mobility enhancement factor of 2.6 and transconductance enhancement of 100% at low voltage, compared to that of unstrained -Si control device at room temperature(300K) achieved in this work. Parasitic gate capacitance, the reason for the rise in the delay time has been reduced in the range of 10-15 F.
