Semiconductor industry has increasingly resorted to strain as a means of realizing the required node-to-node transistor performance improvements. Straining silicon fundamentally changes the mechanical, electrical (band structure and mobility), and chemical (diffusion and activation) properties. As silicon is strained and subjected to high-temperature thermal processing, it undergoes mechanical deformations that create defects, which may significantly limit yield. Engineers have to manipulate these properties of silicon to balance the performance gains against defect generation. This paper will elucidate the current understanding and ongoing published efforts on all these critical properties in bulk strained silicon. The manifestation of these properties in CMOS transistor performance and designs that successfully harness strain is reviewed in the last section. Current manufacturable strained-silicon technologies are reviewed with particular emphasis on scalability. A detailed case study on recessed si
