Abstract
A field effect transistor (FET) has a channel hosted in Ge. The FET has silicon-germanium (SiGe) source and drain formed by selective epitaxy. The SiGe source and drain exert a tensile stress onto the Ge channel. During forming of the SiGe source and drain, an n-type dopant species and a compensating species are being incorporated into the SiGe source and drain. The n-type dopant species and the compensating species are so selected that the size of the SiGe atomic radius is inbetween the dopant atomic radius and the compensating species atomic radius.
