摘要:
The threshold voltage of a sophisticated transistor may be adjusted by providing a specifically designed semiconductor alloy in the channel region of the transistor, wherein a negative effect of this semiconductor material with respect to inducing a strain component in the channel region may be reduced or over-compensated for by additionally incorporating a strain-adjusting species. For example, a carbon species may be incorporated in the channel region, the threshold voltage of which may be adjusted on the basis of a silicon/germanium alloy of a P-channel transistor. Consequently, sophisticated metal gate electrodes may be formed in an early manufacturing stage.
