Electron Mobility in Si Inversion Layers

概要

論文の詳細を見る
Gate voltage dependence of electron mobility in $n$-channel MOSFETs is investigated using Hall effect and channel conductance measurements at room temperature and at 77 K. The electron mobilities obtained by the two different methods show a good agreement with each other and exhibit a decrease with increasing gate voltage in the region of high effective normal field. The theoretical model for electron mobility is given based on the interactions of two-dimensional electron gas confined in the inversion layer with acoustic phonons, intervalley phonons, surface-roughness and ionized impurities. An analytical expression is obtained for the electron mobility, where three types of $f$- and $g$-intervalley phonons are included. The calculated results show a good agreement with the experimental data and the decrease in the mobility at high effective normal field is interpreted in terms of surface-roughness scattering which results in $E_{\text{eff}}^{-2}$ dependence at high normal fields.
