    Abstract: Methods of forming integrated circuit devices include forming first, second and third gate electrodes on a semiconductor substrate. A first stress film is provided that covers the first gate electrode and at least a first portion of the third gate electrode. The first stress film has a sufficiently high internal stress characteristic to impart a net compressive stress in a first portion of the semiconductor substrate extending opposite the first gate electrode. A second stress film is also provided. The second stress film covers the second gate electrode and at least a second portion of the third gate electrode. The second stress film has a sufficiently high internal stress characteristic to impart a net tensile stress in a second portion of the semiconductor substrate extending opposite the second gate electrode. The second stress film has an upper surface that is coplanar with an upper surface of the first stress film at a location adjacent the third gate electrode.

    Abstract: CMOS integrated circuit devices include an electrically insulating layer and an unstrained silicon active layer on the electrically insulating layer. An insulated gate electrode is also provided on a surface of the unstrained silicon active layer. A Si1-xGex layer is also disposed between the electrically insulating layer and the unstrained silicon active layer. The Si1-xGex layer forms a first junction with the unstrained silicon active layer and has a graded concentration of Ge therein that decreases monotonically in a first direction extending from a peak level towards the surface of the unstrained silicon active layer. The peak Ge concentration level is greater than x=0.15 and the concentration of Ge in the Si1-xGex layer varies from the peak level to a level less than about x=0.1 at the first junction. The concentration of Ge at the first junction may be abrupt. More preferably, the concentration of Ge in the Si1-xGex layer varies from the peak level where 0.2
