Abstract
A semiconductor is provided that includes an nFET gate structure straddling over a first nanowire stack and a portion of a first SiGe layer having a first Ge content. The first nanowire stack comprises alternating layers of a tensily strained silicon layer, and a second SiGe layer having a second Ge content that is greater than the first Ge content and being compressively strained. Portions of the tensily strained silicon layers extend beyond sidewalls surfaces of the nFET gate structure and are suspended. The structure further includes a pFET gate structure straddling over a second nanowire stack and another portion of the first SiGe layer. The second nanowire stack comprises alternating layers of the tensily strained silicon layer, and the second SiGe layer. Portions of the second SiGe layers extend beyond sidewalls surfaces of the pFET gate structure and are suspended.
