Abstract: Techniques are provided herein to form semiconductor devices on a substrate with an alternative crystallographic surface orientation. The techniques are particularly useful with respect to gate-all-around and forksheet transistor configurations. A substrate having a (110) crystallographic surface orientation forms the basis for the growth of alternating types of semiconductor layers. Both n-channel and p-channel transistors may be fabricated using silicon nanoribbons formed from some of the alternating semiconductor layers. The crystallographic surface orientation of the Si nanoribbons will reflect the same crystallographic surface orientation of the substrate, which leads to a higher hole mobility across the Si nanoribbons of the p-channel devices and an overall improved CMOS device performance.
