Strained Si devices exhibit enhanced carrier mobility
compared to that of standard Si CMOS devices of the same dimensions.
Recent strained Si CMOS device results are reviewed. Materials issues
related to the strained Si/relaxed SiGe heterostructures required for a
strained Si CMOS technology are discussed.
