Abstract:
A method of introducing strain in a channel region of a FinFET device includes forming a fin structure on a substrate, the fin structure having a lower portion comprising a sacrificial layer and an upper portion comprising a strained semiconductor layer; and removing a portion of the sacrificial layer corresponding to a channel region of the FinFET device so as to release the upper portion of the fin structure from the substrate in the channel region.

Claim (Index 2):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the sacrificial layer comprises n-doped silicon and the strained semiconductor layer comprises silicon germanium.
