The present invention provides semiconductor structures comprised of
stressed channels on hybrid oriented. In particular, the semiconductor
structures include a first active area having a first stressed
semiconductor surface layer of a first crystallographic orientation
located on a surface of a buried insulating material and a second active
area having a second stressed semiconductor surface layer of a second
crystallographic orientation located on a surface of a dielectric
material. A trench isolation region is located between the first and
second active area, and the trench isolation region is partially filled
with a trench dielectric material and the dielectric material that is
present underneath said second stressed semiconductor surface layer. The
dielectric material within the trench isolation region has lower stress
compared to that is used in conventional STI process and it is laterally
abuts at least the second stressed semiconductor surface layer and
extends to an upper surface of the trench isolation region.
