Abstract
An FinFET and a method for manufacturing the same are disclosed. The FinFET comprises: a semiconductor substrate; a stress layer on the semiconductor substrate; a semiconductor fin on the stress layer, the semiconductor fin having two sidewalls extending in its length direction; a gate dielectric on the sidewalls of the semiconductor fin; a gate conductor on the gate dielectric; and a source region and a drain region at two ends of the semiconductor fin, wherein the stress layer extends below and in parallel with the semiconductor fin, and applies stress to the semiconductor fin in the length direction of the semiconductor fin.
