摘要： A physical model for mobility degradation by interface-roughness scattering and Coulomb scattering is proposed for SiGe p-MOSFET with a high-$k$ dielectric/SiO$_{2}$ gate stack. Impacts of the two kinds of scatterings on mobility degradation are investigated. Effects of interlayer (SiO$_{2})$ thickness and permittivities of the high-$k$ dielectric and interlayer on carrier mobility are also discussed. It is shown that a smooth interface between high-$k$ dielectric and interlayer, as well as moderate permittivities of high-$k$ dielectrics, is highly desired to improve carriers mobility while keeping a low equivalent oxide thickness. Simulated results agree reasonably with experimental data.
