    摘要: Strained channel field effect transistors may have a threshold voltage shift. This threshold voltage shift may be compensated for by adjusting channel doping. But this also adversely affects mobility. The threshold voltage shift may be compensated, without adversely affecting mobility, by tailoring the workfunction of a metal gate electrode used in the transistor to adequately compensate for that threshold voltage shift. For example, in some embodiments, an appropriate metal may be selected with a slightly higher workfunction or, in other cases, the workfunction of a selected metal may be adjusted by, for example, doping the metal gate electrode with a material which increases the workfunction of the gate electrode.
