    Abstract: The present invention provides a semiconductor device having dual nitride liners, which provide an increased transverse stress state for at least one FET (300) 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 (360) to the device and applying a second silicon nitride liner (370) adjacent the fast silicon nitride liner, wherein at least one of the first and second silicon nitride liners induces a transverse stress in a silicon channel (330) beneath at least one of the first and second silicon nitride liner.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a strained-Si structure, in which the nFET regions of the structure are strained in tension and the pFET regions of the structure are strained in compression. Broadly the strained-Si structure comprises a substrate; a first layered stack atop the substrate, the first layered stack comprising a compressive dielectric layer atop the substrate and a first semiconducting layer atop the compressive dielectric layer, wherein the compressive dielectric layer transfers tensile stresses to the first semiconducting layer, and a second layered stack atop the substrate, the second layered stack comprising an tensile dielectric layer atop the substrate and a second semiconducting layer atop the tensile dielectric layer, wherein the tensile dielectric layer transfers compressive stresses to the second semiconducting layer. The tensile dielectric layer and the compressive dielectric layer preferably comprise nitride, such as Si3N4.
