AMD follows the leader

Andy Wei, a member of the technical staff based at AMD Dresden, ...AMD and IBM last year used a dual-stress-liner approach for their 90-nm transistors, putting differently configured nitride capping layers on top of the NMOS and PMOS transistors. At the 65-nm node, the partners added an embedded SiGe layer similar to what Intel used at the 90-nm node. Wei said “a big boost came when we added the embedded SiGe” at the source and drain regions of the PMOS transistor.

highlandpk: at this point, AMD's promises seem more credible than those of their competition.

Very good observation.<g>

IMHO
