Patent ID: 8198681

Claim:
A semiconductor component comprising a stress-absorbing semiconductor layer, having: a carrier material having a first lattice constant; a crystalline stress generator layer, formed on the carrier material, having in its final atom layer substantially a second lattice constant being different from the first lattice constant for generating a mechanical stress; an insulating stress transmission layer, formed on the crystalline stress generator layer, having a third lattice constant being matched to the first lattice constant of the carrier material configured to transmit the generated mechanical stress; a crystalline, stress-absorbing semiconductor layer having a lattice constant which substantially matches that of the insulating stress transmission layer, and is directly adjacent to the stress transmission layer, for absorbing the mechanical stress which has been generated and transmitted and for realizing source/drain regions and a channel region; a gate dielectric which is formed at least at the surface of the channel region; and a control layer for driving the channel region, which is formed on the gate dielectric.
