    摘要: A non-planar tri-gate p-MOS transistor structure with a strained channel region and a non-planar tri-gate integrated strained complimentary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) structure are described. A relaxed Si1-x Gex layer is formed on the silicon-on-isolator (SOI) substrate. The relaxed Si1-x Gex layer is patterned and subsequently etched to form a fin on the oxide. The compressively stressed Si1-y Gey layer, having the Ge content y higher than the Ge content x in the relaxed Si1-x Gex layer, is epitaxially grown on the fin. The Si1-y Gey layer covers the top and two sidewalls of the fin. The compressive stress in the Si1-y Gey layer substantially increases the hole mobility in a channel of the non-planar tri-gate p-MOS transistor structure.

    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.
