摘要:
A high performance semiconductor device and the method for making same is disclosed with an improved drive current. The semiconductor device has source and drain regions built on an active region, a length of the device being different than a width thereof. One or more isolation regions are fabricated surrounding the active region, the isolation regions are then filled with an predetermined isolation material whose volume shrinkage exceeds 0.5% after an anneal process. A gate electrode is formed over the active region, and one or more dielectric spacers are made next to the gate electrode. Then, a contact etch stopper layer is put over the device, wherein the isolation regions, spacers and contact etch layer contribute to modulating a net strain imposed on the active region so as to improve the drive current.

A semiconductor device or circuit is formed on a semiconductor substrate with first and second semiconductor materials having different lattice-constants. A first transistor includes a channel region formed oppositely adjacent a source and drain region. At least a portion of the source and drain regions are formed in the second semiconductor material thereby forming lattice-mismatched zones in the first transistor. A second component is coupled to the transistor to form a circuit, e.g., an inverter. The second component can be a second transistor having a conductivity type differing from the first transistor or a resistor.
