Patent ID: 7547930

Claim:
A SiGe on insulator MOSFET device, comprising: a buried insulating layer, said buried insulating layer separating a substrate from a device layer; a strained crystalline SiGe layer for hosting a channel region of said SiGe on insulator MOSFET device, wherein said device layer is comprising said strained crystalline SiGe layer; a first layer, wherein said first layer is Si:C or SiGe:C, and wherein said first layer is being sandwiched between a gate insulator layer and a second layer, and wherein said first layer is in direct contact with said gate insulator layer and said second layer, wherein said second layer is comprising polycrystalline Si, and wherein said second layer is doped with impurities to provide a selected workfunction with respect to said channel region; and a raised source region with a silicided contact, wherein said raised source region adjoins said channel region.
