A semiconductor device 10 includes a substrate 12 (e.g., a silicon substrate) with an insulating layer 14 (e.g., an oxide such as silicon dioxide) disposed thereon. A first semiconducting material layer 16 (e.g., SiGe) is disposed on the insulating layer 14 and a second semiconducting material layer 18 (e.g., Si) is disposed on the first semiconducting material layer 16. The first and second semiconducting material layers 16 and 18 preferably have different lattice constants such that the first semiconducting material layer 16 is compressive and the second semiconducting material layer is tensile 18.

A strained silicon layer fabrication and a method for fabrication thereof employ a strained insulator material layer formed over a strained silicon layer in turn formed upon a strained silicon-germanium alloy material layer which is formed upon a relaxed material substrate. The strained insulator material layer provides increased fabrication options which provide for enhanced fabrication efficiency when fabricating the strained silicon layer fabrication.

A method comprising providing a substrate having an NMOS device adjacent a PMOS device and forming a first stress layer over the NMOS and PMOS devices, wherein the first stress layer comprises a first tensile-stress layer or a compression-stress layer. An etch stop layer is formed over the first stress layer, and portions of the first stress layer and the etch stop layer are removed from over the NMOS device, leaving the first stress layer and the etch stop layer over the PMOS device. A second tensile-stress layer is formed over the NMOS device and over the first stress layer and the etch stop layer, and portions of the second tensile-stress layer and the etch stop layer are removed from over the PMOS device, leaving the second tensile-stress layer over the NMOS device.

A preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a dielectric/metal/2nd energy bandgap (Eg) semiconductor/1st Eg substrate structure. In order to reduce the contact resistance, a semiconductor with a lower energy bandgap (2nd Eg) is put in contact with metal. The energy bandgap of the 2nd Eg semiconductor is lower than the energy bandgap of the 1st Eg semiconductor and preferably lower than 1.1 eV. In addition, a layer of dielectric may be deposited on the metal. The dielectric layer has built-in stress to compensate for the stress in the metal, 2nd Eg semiconductor and 1st Eg substrate. A process of making the structure is also disclosed.
