A lower silicide formation thermal cycle is chosen so that the silicide is formed within the amorphous layer. The I-V characteristics of two different salicide processes with 0.3 μm effective channel lengths are shown in Fig. 1. Process flow for Ge pre-amorphization is also included. In addition to reducing source/drain resistance, Ge implantation improves the breakdown characteristics. Fig. 2 shows the measured breakdown voltage versus effective channel length for SOI devices with TSOI equal to 90 nm.

Accordingly, the ultimate goal for many low-power applications is aimed at a single-battery operation with a nominal supply voltage of 1.2V and an end-of-life voltage of 0.9V. On the other hand, circuit performance is often sacrified when supply voltage (Vdd) is reduced. In order to compensate for the loss in drive current, threshold voltage (Vth) is reduced.
