Abstract
Germanium is used to significantly enhance the drift mobilities of minority carriers in the channels of N-channel and P-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) transistors with silicon substrates. Germanium processing is also used to enhance the source/drain contact conductance for MOS devices. Methods are disclosed for forming the germanium-rich interfacial layer utilizing a germanium implant and wet oxidation or growing a silicon-germanium alloy by molecular beam epitaxy.
