    Abstract: A stress enhanced MOS transistor and methods for its fabrication are provided. In one embodiment the method comprises forming a gate electrode overlying and defining a channel region in a monocrystalline semiconductor substrate. A trench having a side surface facing the channel region is etched into the monocrystalline semiconductor substrate adjacent the channel region. The trench is filled with a second monocrystalline semiconductor material having a first concentration of a substitutional atom and with a third monocrystalline semiconductor material having a second concentration of the substitutional atom. The second monocrystalline semiconductor material is epitaxially grown to have a wall thickness along the side surface sufficient to exert a greater stress on the channel region than the stress that would be exerted by a monocrystalline semiconductor material having the second concentration if the trench was filled by the third monocrystalline material alone.

The hardmask layer is removed from the masked region with the protective oxide layer protecting the epitaxial silicon layer during such removal step. The protective oxide layer is removed from the epitaxial silicon layer.

    Abstract: A low energy surface is formed by a high temperature anneal of the surfaces of trenches on each side of a gate stack. The material of the semiconductor layer reflows during the high temperature anneal such that the low energy surface is a crystallographic surface that is at a non-orthogonal angle with the surface normal of the semiconductor layer. A lattice mismatched semiconductor material is selectively grown on the semiconductor layer to fill the trenches, thereby forming embedded lattice mismatched semiconductor material portions in source and drain regions of a transistor. The embedded lattice mismatched semiconductor material portions can be in-situ doped without increasing punch-through. Alternately, a combination of intrinsic selective epitaxy and ion implantation can be employed to form deep source and drain regions.
