Abstract

The three-dimensional integrated CMOS circuit is formed in a hybrid substrate. n-MOS type transistors are formed, at a bottom level, in a first semi-conducting layer of silicon having a (100) orientation, which layer may be tension strained. p-MOS transistors are formed, at a top level, in a preferably monocrystalline and compression strained second semi-conducting layer of germanium having a (110) orientation. The second semi-conducting layer is transferred onto a first block in which the n-MOS transistors were previously formed, and the p-MOS transistors are then formed.
