Zusammenfassung:An integrated circuit includes one or more transistors on or in a semiconductor substrate. At least one of the transistors includes a gate electrode and source and drain structures. The gate electrode has a fully silicided gate electrode layer with a ratio of Ni:Si ranging from about 2:1 to about 3:1. The source and drain structures are located in openings of the substrate and adjacent to the gate electrode. The source and drain structures are filled with SiGe to produce stress in the transistor channel region.
