Abstract

In this paper, we investigated the compressive mechanical STI x-stress (in the direction of channel length) on channel width. When the channel width becomes narrower, the compressive STI y-stress effect become more severe and causes STI x-stress has lower effect on NMOS Idsat but has higher effect on PMOS Idsat. This means that the amount of NMOS Idsat decrement due to x-stress become less but the amount of PMOS Idsat increment due to x-stress become higher when y-stress increases (narrower channel width)
