A 140nm Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) was designed and simulated to investigate stress effects on device performance. Stress can be divided into two categories which are compressive and tensile stress. Strain technology is capable to introduce stress to the CMOS devices. The strain...
