Abstract
A field effect transistor with an enhanced dielectric constant gate insulator including spaced apart source and drain terminals positioned on a substrate structure so as to define a gate area therebetween. A layer of laterally strained, enhanced dielectric constant dielectric material is epitaxially grown on the substrate structure in the gate area, and a gate metal is positioned on the layer of dielectric material to form a gate terminal in the gate area.
