摘要:
Described herein are a device utilizing a gate electrode material with a single work function for both the pMOS and nMOS transistors where the magnitude of the transistor threshold voltages is modified by semiconductor band engineering and article made thereby. Further described herein are methods of fabricating a device formed of complementary (pMOS and nMOS) transistors having semiconductor channel regions which have been band gap engineered to achieve a low threshold voltage.

摘要:
An NMOS transistor may be formed with a biaxially strained silicon upper layer having a thickness of greater than 500 Angstroms. The resulting NMOS transistor may have good performance and may exhibit reduced self-heating. A PMOS transistor may be formed with both a biaxially and uniaxially strained silicon germanium layer. A source substrate bias applied to both NMOS and PMOS transistors can enhance their performance.

A method to form a strain-inducing semiconductor region is described. In one embodiment, formation of a strain-inducing semiconductor region laterally adjacent to a crystalline substrate results in a uniaxial strain imparted to the crystalline substrate, providing a strained crystalline substrate. In another embodiment, a semiconductor region with a crystalline lattice of one or more species of charge-neutral lattice-forming atoms imparts a strain to a crystalline substrate, wherein the lattice constant of the semiconductor region is different from that of the crystalline substrate, and wherein all species of charge-neutral lattice-forming atoms of the semiconductor region are contained in the crystalline substrate.
