Patent ID: 7737532

Claim:
A semiconductor device comprising: a substrate having a first region and a second region, the first region having a first crystal orientation represented by a family of Miller indices comprising {i,j,k}, the second region having a second crystal orientation represented a family of Miller indices comprising {l,m,n}, wherein l 2 +m 2 +n 2 >i 2 +j 2 +k 2 ; an NMOSFET formed on the first region, the NMOSFET comprising a first active region with a first thickness; a PMOSFET formed on the second region, the PMOSFET comprising a second active region with a second thickness different from the first thickness, wherein the substrate comprises a continuous semiconductor material extending between the first active region and the second active region; and a Schottky-like contact formed within the substrate; wherein a first one of the NMOSFET or the PMOSFET comprises a multiple gate transistor and a second one of the NMOSFET or the PMOSFET comprises a planar transistor.
