We fabricated strained-SOI(sSOI) n-/p-MOSFETs and investigated the electron/hole mobility characteristics. The subthreshold characteristics of sSOI MOSFETs were similar to those of conventional SOI MOSFET. However, The electron mobility of sSOI nMOSFETs was larger than that of the conventional SOI nMOSFETs. These mobility enhancement effects are attributed to the subband modulation of silicon conduction band.

The substrate doping concentration dependence of strain-enhanced electron mobility in (110)/<110> nMOSFETs is investigated by using a self-consistent Schr$\ddot{o}$dinger-Poisson solver. The electron mobility model includes Coulomb, phonon, and surface roughness scattering. The calculated results show that, in contrast to (100)/<110> case, the longitudinal tensile strain-induced electron mobility enhancement on the (110)/<110> can be increased at high substrate doping concentration.

Electron mobility has been investigated theoretically in undoped double-gate (DG) MOSFETs of different channel architectures: a relaxed-Si DG SOI, a strained-Si (sSi) DG SSOI (strained-Si-on-insulator, containing no SiGe layer), and a strained-Si DG SGOI (strained-Si-on-SiGe-on-insulator, containing a SiGe layer) at 300K. Electron mobility in the DG SSOI device exhibits high enhancement relative to the DG SOI. In the DG SGOI devices the mobility is strongly suppressed by the confinement of electrons in much narrower strained-Si layers, as well as by the alloy scattering within the SiGe layer. As a consequence, in the DG SGOI devices with thinnest strained-Si layers the electron mobility may drop below the level of the relaxed DG SOI and the mobility enhancement expected from the strained-Si devices may be lost.

We investigated the characteristics of UTB-SOI pMOSFETs with SOI thickness($T_{SOI}$) ranging from 10 nm to 1 nm and evaluated the dependence of electrical characteristics on the silicon surface orientation. As a result, it is found that the subthreshold characteristics of (100)-surface UTB-SOI pMOSFETs were superior to (110)-surface. However, the hole mobility of (110)-surface were larger than that of (100)-surface. Especially, the enhancement of effective hole mobility at the effective field of 0.1 MV/cm was observed from 3-nm to 5-nm SOI thickness range.

We investigated the characteristics of Strained-Si-on-Insulator (sSOI) MOSFETs with 0.7% tensile strain. The sSOI MOSFETs have superior subthreshold swing under 70 mV/dec and output current. Especially, the electron and hole were increased in sSOI MOSFET. The electron and hole mobility in sSOI MOSFET were 286$cm^2/Vs$ and 151$cm^2/Vs$, respectively. The carrier mobility enhancement is due to the subband splitting by 0.7% tensile strain.

The research related to the mobility support in the Internet can he classified into two fields. One is Macro mobility and the other is Micro mobility In case of \lacro Mobility, the standard, RFC 2002 by IETF is getting focused. But for Micro mobility, a variety of strategies have been discussed. In this paper. we introduce the concept of an LA and propose the strategy that makes it possible for the LA to fully concern frequent local handoff without using the HA. Therefore we can limit the longest handoH delay to a certain degree regardless of the distance between the MN and the HA of the MN. For the registration cost and the packet drop probability due to the registration delay, we prove the performance enhancement of the existing Mobile IP in case that we apply the concept of the LA to existing Mobile IP.

We investigated the mechanism of mobility enhancement after the dehydrogenation process in polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) thin films. The dehydrogenation process was performed by using an in-situ CVD chamber in a $N_2$ ambient or an ex-situ furnace in air ambient. We observed that the dehydrogenated poly-Si in a $N_2$ ambient had a lower oxygen concentration than the dehydrogenated poly-Si annealed in an air ambient. The in-situ dehydrogenation increased the (111) preferred orientation of poly-Si and reduced the oxygen concentration in poly-Si thin films, leading to a reduction of the trap density near the valence band. This phenomenon gave rise to an increase of the field-effect mobility of the poly-Si thin film transistor.

When the Mobile IP is applied for mobility management protocol in the next-generation mobile communication networks, it can cause a serious performance degradation called micro-mobility problem. In this paper, we propose ANMM(Access Network Mobility Management) to efficiently support micro-mobility in the IP-based wireless access network. The ANMM scheme can reduce the handoff latency and signaling overhead resulting in performance enhancement by managing the mobility of mobile nodes within access network.

Hole mobility characteristics of single surface channel and dual channel Si/SiGe structure are compared, where the former one consists of a relaxed SiGe buffer layer and a tensile strained Si layer on top, and for dual channel structure a compressively strained SiGe layer is inserted between them. Due to the difference of hole mobility enhancement factors of layers between them, hole mobility characteristics with respect to the Si cap thickness shows the opposite tend. Hole mobility increases with thicker Si cap for single channel structure, whereas it decreases with thicker Si cap for dual channel structure.
