The NMOS transistor differs from the PMOS in that it requires tensile strain; PMOS transistors need compressive strain along the channel for performance enhancement (Figure 2). Applied’s announcement ...

Inverters can be constructed using only NMOS transistors or a PMOS connected to a resistor. Because this "resistive drain" approach requires the use of only one type of transistor, the ...

Devices fabricated at UMC using USP exhibited drive current improvements of 15% for NMOS and 7% for PMOS ... extra performance improvement option to complement our other mobility enhancement ...
