  • Transistor device structures with retrograde wells in CMOS applications
    Patent number: 10483172
    Abstract: A device includes a substrate having an N-active region and a P-active region, a layer of silicon-carbon positioned on an upper surface of the N-active region, a first layer of a first semiconductor material positioned on the layer of silicon-carbon, a second layer of the first semiconductor material positioned on an upper surface of the P-active region, and a layer of a second semiconductor material positioned on the second layer of the first semiconductor material. An N-type transistor is positioned in and above the N-active region and a P-type transistor is positioned in and above the P-active region.
