BI-AXIAL TENSILE STRAINED GE CHANNEL FOR CMOS

摘要

An apparatus comprising a complimentary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) inverter including an n-channel metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET); and a p-channel MOSFET, wherein a material of a channel in the n-channel MOSFET and a material of a channel in the p-channel MOSFET is subject to a bi-axial tensile strain. A method including forming an n-channel metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET); forming a p-channel MOSFET; and connecting the gate electrodes and the drain regions of the n-channel MOSFET and the p-channel MOSFET, wherein a material of the channel in the n-channel MOSFET and a material of the channel in the p-channel MOSFET is subject to a bi-axial tensile strain.
