Isolation structures for imposing stress patterns
摘要:
A substrate under tension and/or compression improves performance of devices fabricated therein. Tension and/or compression can be imposed on a substrate through selection of appropriate STI fill material. The STI regions are formed in the substrate layer and impose forces on adjacent substrate areas. The substrate areas under compression or tension exhibit charge mobility characteristics different from those of a non-stressed substrate. By controllably varying these stresses within NFET and PFET devices formed on a substrate, improvements in IC performance are achieved.
