11 results about "Strained silicon" patented technology

Strained silicon is a layer of silicon in which the silicon atoms are stretched beyond their normal interatomic distance. This can be accomplished by putting the layer of silicon over a substrate of silicon germanium (SiGe). As the atoms in the silicon layer align with the atoms of the underlying silicon germanium layer (which are arranged a little farther apart, with respect to those of a bulk silicon crystal), the links between the silicon atoms become stretched - thereby leading to strained silicon. Moving these silicon atoms farther apart reduces the atomic forces that interfere with the movement of electrons through the transistors and thus better mobility, resulting in better chip performance and lower energy consumption. These electrons can move 70% faster allowing strained silicon transistors to switch 35% faster.

Cladding and condensation for strained semiconductor nanoribbons

Techniques are provided herein to form semiconductor devices having nanowires with an increased strain. A thin layer of silicon germanium or germanium tin can be deposited over one or more suspended nanoribbons. An anneal process may then be used to drive the silicon germanium or germanium tin throughout the one or more semiconductor nanoribbons, thus forming one or more nanoribbons with a changing material composition along the lengths of the one or more nanoribbons. In some examples, at least one of the one or more nanoribbons includes a first region at one end of the nanoribbon having substantially no germanium, a second region at the other end of the nanoribbon having substantially no germanium, and a third region between the first and second regions having a substantially uniform non-zero germanium concentration. The change in material composition along the length of the nanoribbon imparts a compressive strain.
