Semiconductor devices with n-shaped bottom stress liners are formed. Embodiments include forming a protuberance on a substrate, conformally forming a sacrificial material layer over the protuberance, forming a gate stack above the sacrificial material layer on a silicon layer, removing the sacrificial material layer to form a tunnel, and forming a stress liner in the tunnel conforming to the shape of the protuberance. Embodiments further include forming a silicon layer over the sacrificial material layer and lining the tunnel with a passivation layer prior to forming the stress liner. |
