Method of manufacturing a transistor having a channel comprising germanium

摘要

The method involves forming an intermediate semiconductor layer (6) above a substrate (2), where the layer contains an alloy of silicon and germanium. Source, drain and insulated gate regions (11,12,9) of a MOS transistor are formed above the semiconductor layer. The semiconductor layer is oxidized from a lower surface of the layer for increasing concentration of germanium in a channel of the transistor.
