Enhanced mobility CMOS transistors with a v-shaped channel with self-alignment to shallow trench isolation

The present invention provides structures and methods for a transistor formed on a V-shaped groove. The V-shaped groove contains two crystallographic facets joined by a ridge. The facets have different crystallographic orientations than what a semiconductor substrate normally provides such as the substrate orientation or orientations orthogonal to the substrate orientation. Unlike the prior art, the V-shaped groove is formed self-aligned to the shallow trench isolation, eliminating the need to precisely align the V-shaped grooves with lithographic means. The electrical properties of the new facets, specifically, the enhanced carrier mobility, are utilized to enhance the performance of transistors. In a transistor with a channel on the facets that are joined to form a V-shaped profile, the current flows in the direction of the ridge joining the facets avoiding any inflection in the direction of the current.
