A stressed channel is formed in a PMOS transistor by etching a recess and subsequently backfilling the recess with an epitaxially formed alloy of silicon, germanium, and an n-type dopant. The alloy has the same crystal structure as the underlying silicon, but the spacing of the crystal is larger, due to the inclusion of the germanium. An NMOS transistor can be formed by including carbon instead of germanium.
