摘要： The effects of strain and surface roughness scattering on the quasi-ballistic hole transport in a strained gate-all-around germanium nanowire p-channel field-effect transistor (pFET) are investigated in this work. The valence subbands are shifted up and warped more parabolically by the influence of HfO2 due to the lattice mismatch. However, the boundary force only shifts the subbands downwards and has little effect on the reshaping of bands. Strain induced by HfO2 increases both the hole mobility and ON-current (ION), but has little effect on the hole mobility. The ION is degraded by the surface roughness scattering in both strained and unstrained devices.
