    摘要: According to one exemplary embodiment, a FET which is situated over a substrate, comprises a channel situated in the substrate. The FET further comprises a first gate dielectric situated over the channel, where the first gate dielectric has a first coefficient of thermal expansion. The FET further comprises a first gate electrode situated over the first gate dielectric, where the first gate electrode has a second coefficient of thermal expansion, and where the second coefficient of thermal expansion is different than the first coefficient of thermal expansion so as to cause an increase in carrier mobility in the FET. The second coefficient of thermal expansion may be greater that the first coefficient of thermal expansion, for example. The increase in carrier mobility may be caused by, for example, a tensile strain created in the channel.

    摘要: Strained silicon is grown on a dielectric material in a trench in a silicon germanium layer at a channel region of a MOSFET after fabrication of other MOSFET elements using a removable dummy gate process to form an SOI MOSFET. The MOSFET is fabricated with the dummy gate in place, the dummy gate is removed, and a trench is formed in the channel region. Dielectric material is grown in the trench, and strained silicon is then grown from the silicon germanium trench sidewalls to form a strained silicon layer that extends across the dielectric material. The silicon germanium sidewalls impart strain to the strained silicon, and the presence of the dielectric material allows the strained silicon to be grown as a thin fully depleted layer. A replacement gate is then formed by damascene processing.

    摘要: A strained silicon layer is grown on a layer of silicon germanium and a layer of silicon germanium is grown on the strained silicon in a single continuous in situ deposition process with the strained silicon. Shallow trench isolations are formed in the lower layer of silicon germanium prior to formation of the strained silicon layer. The two silicon germanium layers effectively provide dual substrates at both surfaces of the strained silicon layer that serve to maintain the tensile strain of the strained silicon layer and resist the formation of misfit dislocations that might otherwise result from temperature changes during processing. Consequently the critical thickness of strained silicon that can be grown without significant misfit dislocations during later processing is effectively doubled for a given germanium content of the silicon germanium layers. The formation of shallow trench isolations prior to formation of the strained silicon layer avoids subjecting the strained silicon layer to extreme thermal stresses and further reduces the formation of misfit dislocations.
