Abstract: Ge and III-V channel semiconductor devices having maximized compliance and free surface relaxation and methods of fabricating such Ge and III-V channel semiconductor devices are described. For example, a semiconductor device includes a semiconductor fin disposed above a semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor fin has a central protruding or recessed segment spaced apart from a pair of protruding outer segments along a length of the semiconductor fin. A cladding layer region is disposed on the central protruding or recessed segment of the semiconductor fin. A gate stack is disposed on the cladding layer region. Source/drain regions are disposed in the pair of protruding outer segments of the semiconductor fin.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for incorporating high mobility strained channels into fin-based transistors (e.g., FinFETs such as double-gate, trigate, etc), wherein a stress material is cladded onto the channel area of the fin. In one example embodiment, silicon germanium (SiGe) is cladded onto silicon fins to provide a desired stress, although other fin and cladding materials can be used. The techniques are compatible with typical process flows, and the cladding deposition can occur at a plurality of locations within the process flow. In some cases, the built-in stress from the cladding layer may be enhanced with a source/drain stressor that compresses both the fin and cladding layers in the channel. In some cases, an optional capping layer can be provided to improve the gate dielectric/semiconductor interface. In one such embodiment, silicon is provided over a SiGe cladding layer to improve the gate dielectric/semiconductor interface.
