Description

Uniaxial process induced stress is being adopted in all 90, 65, and 45 nm high performance logic technologies. The uniaxial stress offers large performance improvement at low cost and minimally increased manufacturing complexity and is scalable to future technology nodes. The mobility enhancement is larger for uniaxial than biaxial stress and can be understood from the strain altered band structure
