Abstract:
A method and structure for mitigating strain loss (e.g., in a FinFET channel) includes providing a semiconductor device having a substrate having a substrate fin portion, an active fin region formed over a first part of the substrate fin portion, a pickup region formed over a second part of the substrate fin portion, and an anchor formed over a third part of the substrate fin portion. In some embodiments, the substrate fin portion includes a first material, and the active fin region includes a second material different than the first material. In various examples, the anchor is disposed between and adjacent to each of the active fin region and the pickup region.

Claim (Index 17):
A method, comprising:\n forming a first channel layer within a first recess and a second channel layer within a second recess, wherein the first channel layer includes a second material different than a first material of a substrate, and wherein the second channel layer includes a third material different than the first material; patterning the first channel layer and a first adjacent portion of the substrate to form a first contiguous fin structure including a first region, a second region, and a first anchor disposed between the first region and the second region; patterning the second channel layer and a second adjacent portion of the substrate to form a second contiguous fin structure including a third region, a fourth region, and a second anchor disposed between the third region and the fourth region, wherein the second contiguous fin structure is oriented parallel to the first contiguous fin structure; and forming a gate structure oriented perpendicular to both the first and second contiguous fin structures, wherein the gate structure extends over both the first and second contiguous fin structures.
