Patent number: 10032912Abstract: A modified silicon substrate having a substantially defect-free strain relaxed buffer layer of SiGe is suitable for use as a foundation on which to construct a high performance CMOS FinFET device. The substantially defect-free SiGe strain-relaxed buffer layer can be formed by making cuts in, or segmenting, a strained epitaxial film, causing edges of the film segments to experience an elastic strain relaxation. When the segments are small enough, the overall film is relaxed so that the film is substantially without dislocation defects. Once the substantially defect-free strain-relaxed buffer layer is formed, strained channel layers can be grown epitaxially from the relaxed SRB layer. The strained channel layers are then patterned to create fins for a FinFET device. In one embodiment, dual strained channel layers are formed—a tensilely strained layer for NFET devices, and a compressively strained layer for PFET devices.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2014Date of Patent: July 24, 2018Assignees: STMICROELECTRONICS, INC., GLOBALFOUNDRIES INC., INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Pierre Morin, Kangguo Cheng, Jody Fronheiser, Xiuyu Cai, Juntao Li, Shogo Mochizuki, Ruilong Xie, Hong He, Nicolas Loubet
