In field-effect transistors, semiconductor clusters, which can extend from the source region to the drain region and which can be implemented in two ways, are embedded in one or a plurality of layers. In a first embodiment, the semiconductor material of the adjacent channel region can be strained by the clusters and the effective mass can thus be reduced by altering the energy band structure and the charge carrier mobility can be increased. In a second embodiment, the clusters themselves can be used as a canal region. These two embodiments can also appear in mixed forms. The invention can be applied to the Si material system with SiGe clusters or to the GaAs material system with InGaAs clusters or to other material systems.
