A prospective of work and a feasibility study are undertaken on MOSi1 – xGex transistors with a 130 nm submicron technology. BSIM3v3 model has been used to analyze the transistors’ operation, according to the study of the effect of Germanium fraction x (x ( 0 to x ( 1) on electrical performance of these transistors taking into account the influence of temperature. PSpice parameters of two different transistors NMOS1 – xGex and PMOS1 – xGex have been calculated and used in the modeling. The output and transfer electrical characteristics have been determined in the temperature range – 200 to 200 °C. The regime sub-threshold was also addressed by calculating ION and IOFF currents as a function of VGS for constant VDD. Simulation results show that the above transistors work properly in a regime under a threshold voltage of about 1.2 V. They can be used in low voltage and low power microelectronics by controlling the germanium x fraction.
