Abstract:
A strained silicon material layer is bonded to a relaxed silicon material layer. The strained silicon material and any defect containing region formed during bonding are completely removed from a second device region, while a portion of the strained silicon material layer remains in a first device region. A relaxed silicon material portion is epitaxially formed on an exposed portion of the relaxed silicon material layer. A high performance nFET device, in which leakage is not a main concern, can be formed on the remaining portion of the strained silicon material layer in the first device region, and a pFET device or a low leakage nFET device can be formed on the epitaxially formed relaxed silicon material portion.
