These structures are of importance in the microelectronics industry. As the scaling down of silicon-based complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) devices becomes more and more challenging, new material and device structures to relax this physical limitation in device scaling are now required. Germanium (Ge) has been proposed as a potential alternative to silicon. 2010-01-01T00:00:00Z Chawanda, Albert
