Process for fabricating a heterostructure-channel insulated-gate field-effect transistor, and the corresponding transistor

摘要

The insulated-gate field-effect transistor includes a substrate surmounted by a layer of silicon-germanium alloy, the ratio of the germanium concentration to the silicon concentration of which increases towards the surface of the substrate. The transistor is formed on the active zone in the silicon-germanium alloy layer and lies between two isolating zones. The transistor includes a narrow heterostructure strained-semiconductor channel including a SiGe alloy layer in compression and a silicon layer in tension, extending between the gate and a dielectric block buried in the substrate.
