Patent attributes
A semiconductor device is demonstrated in which a plurality of field-effect transistors is stacked with an interlayer insulating layer interposed therebetween over a substrate having an insulating surface. Each of the plurality of filed-effect transistors has a semiconductor layer which is prepared by a process including separation of the semiconductor layer from a semiconductor substrate followed by bonding thereof over the substrate. Each of the plurality of field-effect transistors is covered with an insulating film which provides distortion of the semiconductor layer. Furthermore, the crystal axis of the semiconductor layer, which is parallel to the crystal plane thereof, is set to a channel length direction of the semiconductor layer, which enables production of the semiconductor device with high performance and low power consumption having an SOI structure.
