Abstract:
A semiconductor device and method making it utilize a three-dimensional channel region comprising a core of a first semiconductor material and an epitaxial covering of a second semiconductor material. The first and second semiconductor materials have respectively different lattice constants, thereby to create a strain in the epitaxial covering. The devices are formed by a gate-last process, so that the second semiconductor material is deposited only after the high temperature processes have been performed. Consequently, the lattice strain is not substantially relaxed, and the improved performance benefits of the lattice strained channel region are not compromised.

Claim (Index 4):
The semiconductor device according to  claim 3 , wherein the source region, the drain region and the gate electrode are electrically separated from the substrate, respectively.
