    Abstract: A method for reducing defects from an active layer is disclosed. The active layer may be part of a semiconductor in a semiconductor device. The active layer may be defined at least laterally by an isolation structure, and may physically contact an isolation structure at a contact interface. The isolation structure and the active layer may abut on a common substantially planar surface. The method may include providing a patterned stress-inducing layer on the common substantially planar surface. The stress-inducing layer may be adapted for inducing a stress field in the active layer, and induced stress field may result in a shear stress on a defect in the active layer. The method may also include performing an anneal step after providing the patterned stress-inducing layer on the common substantially planar surface. The method may additionally include removing the patterned stress-inducing layer from the common substantially planar surface.

    Abstract: A device and method for forming a vertical channel device is disclosed. The method includes: forming a vertical semiconductor pillar on a substrate, the vertical semiconductor pillar including a first pillar section, a second pillar section and a third pillar section, wherein the second pillar section is arranged between the first pillar section and the third pillar section and wherein the second pillar section is formed of a material being different from a material forming an upper portion of the first pillar section and different from a material forming a lower portion of the third pillar section; forming a spacer layer on a peripheral surface of the upper portion of the first pillar section and on a peripheral surface of the lower portion of the third pillar section; and forming a gate stack embedding the second pillar section and said upper portion of the first pillar section and said lower portion of the third pillar section, wherein the spacer layer forms a spacer between the gate stack and said upper portion of the first pillar section and between the gate stack and said lower portion of the third pillar section.

    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a transistor device comprising a channel layer is disclosed. In one example, the method includes providing a substrate, epitaxially growing a strained layer on the substrate (defect free), epitaxially growing the channel layer on the epitaxially grown strained layer, and providing a gate structure on the channel layer. In this example, the method also includes selectively etching into the channel layer and at least partially in the epitaxially grown strained layer, thereby using the gate structure as a mask, and thereby creating a protrusion extending from the substrate. The protrusion may comprise a portion of the channel layer and at least an upper portion of the epitaxially grown strained layer, and may allow for elastic relaxation in the portions.

    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a transistor device is provided, comprising providing a plurality of parallel nanowires on a substrate; providing a dummy gate structure over a central portion of the parallel nanowires; epitaxially growing extension portions of a second material, selectively on the parallel nanowires, outside a central portion; providing a filler layer around and on top of the dummy gate structure and the extension portions; removing the dummy gate structure to create a gate trench, exposing the central portion of the parallel nanowires; providing spacer structures on the sidewalls of the gate trench, to define a final gate trench; thinning the parallel nanowires, thereby creating free space in between the nanowires and spacer structures; and selectively growing a quantum well layer on or around the parallel nanowires, at least partially filling the free space, to thereby provide a connection between the quantum well layer and extension portions.
