Abstract

A field effect transistor includes a body layer having a strained crystalline semiconductor channel region, and a gate stack on the channel region. The gate stack includes a crystalline semiconductor gate layer that is lattice mismatched with the channel region, and a crystalline gate dielectric layer between the gate layer and the channel region. Related devices and fabrication methods are also discussed.
