    摘要: A semiconductor device (10) is formed in a semiconductor layer (12). A gate stack (16,18) is formed over the semiconductor layer and comprises a first conductive layer (22) and a second layer (24) over the first layer. The first layer is more conductive and provides more stopping power to an implant than the second layer. A species (46) is implanted into the second layer. Source/drain regions (52) are formed in the semiconductor layer on opposing sides of the gate stack. The gate stack is heated after the step of implanting to cause the gate stack to exert stress in the semiconductor layer in a region under the gate stack.

    摘要: An electronic device can include a transistor structure of a first conductivity type, a field isolation region, and a layer of a first stress type overlying the field isolation region. For example, the transistor structure may be a p-channel transistor structure and the first stress type may be tensile, or the transistor structure may be an n-channel transistor structure and the first stress type may be compressive. The transistor structure can include a channel region that lies within an active region. An edge of the active region includes the interface between the channel region and the field isolation region. From a top view, the layer can include an edge the lies near the edge of the active region. The positional relationship between the edges can affect carrier mobility within the channel region of the transistor structure.
