Leti Develops Local-strain Techniques in FD-SOI Fabrication To Improve Next-Generation Performance, Energy Use

December 8, 2015

GRENOBLE, France – Dec. 8, 2015 – CEA-Leti today announced it has developed two techniques to induce local strain in FD-SOI processes for next-generation FD-SOI circuits that will produce more speed at the same, or lower, power consumption, and improve performance.

The local-strain solutions are dual-strained technologies: compressive SiGe for PFETs and tensile Si for NFETs. In addition to clearing the path to improved performance in FD-SOI technology, they preserve its excellent electrostatic integrity and its in situ performance tunability, due to back biasing.

The two techniques Leti developed can induce local stress as high as 1.6 GPa in the … Read More → "Leti Develops Local-strain Techniques in FD-SOI Fabrication To Improve Next-Generation Performance, Energy Use"
