    Abstract: A method to form a strain-inducing semiconductor region is described. In one embodiment, formation of a strain-inducing semiconductor region laterally adjacent to a crystalline substrate results in a uniaxial strain imparted to the crystalline substrate, providing a strained crystalline substrate. In another embodiment, a semiconductor region with a crystalline lattice of one or more species of charge-neutral lattice-forming atoms imparts a strain to a crystalline substrate, wherein the lattice constant of the semiconductor region is different from that of the crystalline substrate, and wherein all species of charge-neutral lattice-forming atoms of the semiconductor region are contained in the crystalline substrate.

    Abstract: Memory devices and methods of operation are provided. A memory device includes first and second cross-coupled inverters and first and second access transistors coupled to an input node of the second inverter. The memory device also includes a control circuit for providing a first reference voltage at a first ground node of the first inverter and a second reference voltage at a second ground node of the second inverter. The first access transistor is configured to conduct current from a first bit line to the input node and to provide substantially no current conduction from the input node to the first bit line. The second access transistor is configured to conduct current from the input node to one of the first bit line and a second bit line and to provide substantially no current conduction from the input node to the one of first and second bit lines.

    Abstract: Methods of forming a microelectronic structure are described. Embodiments of those methods may include providing a gate electrode comprising a top surface and first and second laterally opposite sidewalls, wherein a hard mask is disposed on the top surface, a source drain region disposed on opposite sides of the gate electrode, and a spacer disposed on the first and second laterally opposed sidewalls of the gate electrode, forming a silicon germanium layer on exposed portions of the top surface and the first and second laterally opposite sidewalls of the source drain region and then oxidizing a portion of the silicon germanium layer, wherein a germanium portion of the silicon germanium layer is forced down into the source drain region to convert a silicon portion of the source drain region into a silicon germanium portion of the source drain region.
