Abstract
Degradation of NMOS and enhancement of PMOS I-V characteristics are fo und to be dependent on specific isolation processes in thin-film SOI d evices, These variations are due to mobility decrease in NMOS and incr ease In PMOS, which can be attributed to the isolation-process-related compressive strain of the silicon film, Magnitudes of mobility variat ion as high as 40% are observed in the affected SOI devices.
