摘要： An embodiment is a non-planar MOS transistor structure including a strained channel region. The combination of a non-planar MOS transistor structure, and in particular an NMOS tri-gate transistor, with the benefits of a strained channel yields improved transistor drive current, switching speed, and decreased leakage current for a given gate length width versus a non-planar MOS structure with an unstrained channel or planar MOS structure including a strained channel.

摘要： An NMOS transistor may be formed with a biaxially strained silicon upper layer having a thickness of greater than 500 Angstroms. The resulting NMOS transistor may have good performance and may exhibit reduced self-heating. A PMOS transistor may be formed with both a biaxially and uniaxially strained silicon germanium layer. A source substrate bias applied to both NMOS and PMOS transistors can enhance their performance.

摘要： Techniques are disclosed for enabling multi-sided condensation of semiconductor fins. The techniques can be employed, for instance, in fabricating fin-based transistors. In one example case, a strain layer is provided on a bulk substrate. The strain layer is associated with a critical thickness that is dependent on a component of the strain layer, and the strain layer has a thickness lower than or equal to the critical thickness. A fin is formed in the substrate and strain layer, such that the fin includes a substrate portion and a strain layer portion. The fin is oxidized to condense the strain layer portion of the fin, so that a concentration of the component in the strain layer changes from a pre-condensation concentration to a higher post-condensation concentration, thereby causing the critical thickness to be exceeded.

摘要： 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.
