Abstract:
In semiconductor devices, some active regions may frequently have to be formed on the basis of a silicon/germanium (Si/Ge) mixture in order to appropriately adjust transistor characteristics, for instance, for P-type transistors. To this end, the present disclosure provides manufacturing techniques and respective devices in which at least two different types of active regions, including Si/Ge material, may be provided with a high degree of compatibility with conventional process strategies. Due to the provision of different germanium concentrations, increased flexibility in adjusting characteristics of transistor elements that require Si/Ge material in their active regions may be achieved.

Claim (Index 11):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein performing said at least one oxidation process comprises performing said at least one oxidation process such that said post-oxidation first germanium concentration of said first crystalline silicon/germanium (Si/Ge) material is greater than said first germanium concentration and said post-oxidation second germanium concentration of said second crystalline Si/Ge material is greater than said second germanium concentration.
