    摘要: Known techniques to improve metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) performance is to add a high stress dielectric layer to the MOSFET. The high stress dielectric layer introduces stress in the MOSFET that causes electron mobility drive current to increase. This technique increases process complexity, however, and can degrade PMOS performance. Embodiments of the present invention create dislocation loops in the MOSFET substrate to introduce stress and implants nitrogen in the substrate to control the growth of the dislocation loops so that the stress remains beneath the channel of the MOSFET.

    摘要: Optimal strain in the channel region of a PMOS transistor is provided by silicon alloy material in the junction regions of the device in a non-planar relationship with the surface of the substrate. The silicon alloy material, the dimensions of the silicon alloy material, as well as the non-planar relationship of the silicon alloy material with the surface of the substrate are selected so that the difference between the lattice spacing of the silicon alloy material and of the substrate causes strains in the silicon alloy material below the substrate surface, as well as above the substrate surface, to affect an optimal silicon alloy induced strain in the substrate channel. In addition, the non-planar relationship may be selected so that any strains caused by different lattice spaced layers formed over the silicon alloy material have a reduced effect on the strain in the channel region.
