Abstract
Aspects disclosed herein include circuits employing a double diffusion break (DDB) and a single diffusion break (SDB) in different type diffusion regions, and related fabrication methods are disclosed. In exemplary aspects disclosed herein, either a DDB or a SDB is formed in the N-type diffusion region(s) and the opposing type diffusion, either a SDB or DDB, is formed in the P-type diffusion region(s). Forming different diffusion breaks between a DDB and a SDB in different diffusion regions of the circuit can be employed to induce channel strain that will increase carrier mobility of either P-type or N-type semiconductor devices formed in respective P-type or N-type diffusion region(s), while avoiding or reducing such induced channel strain in either P-type or N-type semiconductor devices formed in respective P- or N-type diffusion region(s) that may degrade carrier mobility.
