Integrated circuit including a first channel and a second channel

摘要

An integrated circuit is disclosed. In one embodiment, the integrated circuit includes a first area and a second area. The first area is stress engineered to provide enhanced mobility in a first channel that has a first width. The second area is stress engineered to provide enhanced mobility in a second channel that has a second width. The first channel and the second channel provide a combined current that is greater than a single current provided via a single channel having a single width that is substantially equal to the sum of the first width and the second width.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
enhancing mobility in a first channel that has a first width via stress engineering; enhancing mobility in a second channel that has a second width via stress engineering; and summing current from the first channel and the second channel to provide a summed current that is greater than a single current provided via a single channel that is stress engineered to enhance mobility and substantially the same as the first channel and the second channel, but having a single width equal to the sum of the first width and the second width, wherein: enhancing mobility in a first channel comprises enhancing mobility more in the first channel than mobility is enhanced in the single channel; and enhancing mobility in a second channel comprises enhancing mobility more in the second channel than mobility is enhanced in the single channel.
