LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Using a pulsed measurement system, the drain current in a high mobility strained Si pMOSFET was extracted in the absence of self-heating. This was used to demonstrate that the injection velocity of holes from the source is well below the thermal limit for biaxial tensile strained Si pMOSFETs down to 0.1 µm channel length.
