Abstract

The effects of top-cut stress liners for damascene gate MOSFETs are examined by stress simulation. The results have shown that high channel stress is induced for shorter gate lengths and hence high drive current n- and pFETs are achieved by using top-cut stress liners with dual metal/high-k gates and eSiGe for damascene gate devices.
