Abstract:
Various embodiments include field effect transistors (FETs) and related integrated circuit (IC) layouts. One FET includes: a silicon substrate including a set of trenches; a first oxide abutting the silicon substrate; a silicon germanium (SiGe) layer overlying the silicon substrate; a silicon layer overlying the SiGe layer; a second oxide overlying the silicon layer, wherein the silicon layer includes a plurality of salicide regions; a gate structure overlying the second oxide between adjacent salicide regions; and a first contact contacting the gate structure; a second contact contacting one of the salicide regions; a third oxide partially filling the set of trenches and extending above the silicon layer overlying the SiGe layer; and an air gap in each of the set of trenches, the air gap surrounded by the third oxide.
