Abstract:
A method comprises providing a semiconductor alloy layer on a semiconductor substrate, forming a gate structure on the semiconductor alloy layer, forming source and drain regions in the semiconductor substrate on both sides of the gate structure, removing at least a portion of the semiconductor alloy layer overlying the source and drain regions, and forming a metal silicide region over the source and drain regions.
Abstract:
A method includes forming a gate stack over a semiconductor substrate, and forming a first silicon germanium (SiGe) region in the semiconductor substrate and adjacent the gate stack. The first SiGe region has a first atomic percentage of germanium to germanium and silicon. A second SiGe region is formed over the first SiGe region. The second SiGe region has a second atomic percentage of germanium to germanium and silicon. The second atomic percentage is lower than the first atomic percentage, wherein the first and the second SiGe regions form a source/drain stressor of a metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) device.
Abstract:

Abstract:
A CMOS integrated circuit includes a substrate having an NMOS region with a P-well and a PMOS region with an N-well. A shallow trench isolation (STI) region is formed between the NMOS and PMOS regions and a composite silicon layer comprising a strained SiGe layer is formed over said P well region and over said N well region. The composite silicon layer is disconnected at the STI region. Gate electrodes are then formed on the composite layer in the NMOS and PMOS regions.
