Abstract

A semiconductor structure has a MOSFET and a substrate to accommodate the MOSFET. The MOSFET has a gate, a source, and a drain in the substrate. A first substrate region surrounding the MOSFET is doped with a stress enhancer, wherein the stress enhancer is configured to generate a tensile stress in the MOSFET's channel and the tensile stress is along the channel's widthwise direction.
