    摘要: A semiconductor structure including a highly strained selective epitaxial top layer suitable for use in fabricating a strained channel transistor. The top layer is deposited on the uppermost of a series of one or more lower layers. The lattice of each layer is mismatched with the lattice of its subjacent layer by an amount not less than the lattice mismatch between the lowest layer of the series and a substrate on which it resides. A trench is formed in the uppermost series layer. The trench has rounded corners so that a dielectric material filling the trench conforms to the round corners. The rounded corners are produced by heating the uppermost series layer after trench formation.

    摘要: A semiconductor device includes a substrate, a first epitaxial layer, a second epitaxial layer, a third epitaxial layer, a first trench, and a second trench. The first epitaxial layer is formed on the substrate. The first layer has lattice mismatch relative to the substrate. The second epitaxial layer is formed on the first layer, and the second layer has lattice mismatch relative to the first layer. The third epitaxial layer is formed on the second layer, and the third layer has lattice mismatch relative to the second layer. Hence, the third layer may be strained silicon. The first trench extends through the first layer. The second trench extends through the third layer and at least partially through the second layer. At least part of the second trench is aligned with at least part of the first trench, and the second trench is at least partially filled with an insulating material.
