Abstract

A method and device for increasing pFET performance without degradation of nFET performance. The method includes forming a first structure on a substrate using a first plane and direction and forming a second structure on the substrate using a second plane and direction. In use, the device includes a nFET stack on a substrate using a first plane and direction, e.g., (100)<110> and a pFET stack on the substrate using a second plane and direction, e.g., (111)/<112>. An isolation region within the substrate is provided between the nFET stack and the pFET stack.
