Abstract
A semiconductor device with p-channel and n-channel field effect devices formed on a common substrate, where the drain and source regions of the n-channel field effect device are formed within a silicon epitaxial layer formed on a silicon layer germanium relax which is formed on a silicon germanium buffer layer with a graduated germanium concentration. Additionally, drain and source regions of the p-channel field effect device are formed within a silicon-germanium compound layer formed on the substrate and the silicon epitaxial cap layer formed on the silicon-germanium compound layer.
