N2 - In this study, we investigated the effects of the dimensional scaling of n-channel field-effect transistors on the channel strain. We employed nanobeam diffraction to independently determine the effects of scaling of two major transistor dimensions (gate and source/ drain length) on the channel strain. Both these parameters influenced the channel strain, but in the opposite directions: the channel strain increased with the gate length decreasing, while declining with the reduction of the source/ drain length. Using device simulation, we also considered the combined effects of all the main scaling factors, disclosing that the strain decreased with the reduction of the dimensions.
