Abstract:
The present invention provides a semiconductor device having dual nitride liners, which provide an increased transverse stress state for at least one FET and methods for the manufacture of such a device. A first aspect of the invention provides a method for use in the manufacture of a semiconductor device comprising the steps of applying a first silicon nitride liner to the device and applying a second silicon nitride liner adjacent the first silicon nitride liner, wherein at least one of the first and second silicon nitride liners induces a transverse stress in a silicon channel beneath at least one of the first and second silicon nitride liner.
