translate English to German: The crystal lattice of silicon is expanded by mechanical strain to change the electrical properties of silicon: the charge carriers are able to move significantly faster through the transistor, the potential switching frequency increases and power consumption decreases. This clears the way for more powerful and at the same time even smaller transistors.
