  • Mechanisms for forming stressor regions in a semiconductor device
    Patent number: 8674453
    Abstract: The embodiments of processes and structures described above provide mechanisms for improving mobility of carriers. The dislocations in the source and drain regions and the strain created by the doped epitaxial materials next to the channel region of a transistor both contribute to the strain in the channel region. As a result, the device performance is improved.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 13, 2011
    Date of Patent: March 18, 2014
    Assignee: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd.
    Inventors: Chun Hsiung Tsai, Tsan-Chun Wang, Su-Hao Liu, Tsz-Mei Kwok, Chii-Meng Wu
