Electrical Measurement of the Bandgap of N+ and P+ SiGe Formed by Ge Ion Implantation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 February 2011
Abstract
N+ and p+ SiGe layers were formed in the source regions of SOI MOSFETs in order to suppress the floating-body effects by means of high-dose Ge implantation. The bandgaps of the layers were evaluated by measuring the temperature dependence of the base current of the source/channel/drain lateral bipolar transistors. It has been found that the reductions of the bandgaps due to the SiGe formation by the Ge implantation were relatively small, compared to those obtained by the theoretical calculation for heavily doped SiGe. It was also found that the bandgap reduction was larger for n+ layers than that for p+ layers.
