OUTLINEOUTLINE
• SRC and AMD, AMAT, IBM, Intel, TSMC, TI, UMC funded device modeling/characterization work
• Plans: Single event transient– Start with SRC strained Si modeling/calibration– SET on State-of-the-art uniaxial strained Si (90-45nm)– SET on Future strained devices
• Strained Ge transistor• Strained Si and Ge on (110) wafers

Summary / Next StepsSummary / Next Steps
• First-principles quantum mechanical methods for strained Si band structure
• Spatially dependent strain-induced band structure
• Model charge transport and collection due to single event in FLOOPS/FLOODS– Start with existing MURI developed models– Add strain for Si and Ge transistors
