ABSTRACT:
A method for forming a compressive film over a field effect transistor over a substrate is provided. The field effect transistor includes a channel region between a drain and a source within the substrate. The channel region is controlled by a gate electrode. The method includes depositing a diamond-like carbon (DLC) film over the field effect transistor to compress the channel region by generating a plasma of a processing gas including a precursor gas and an additive gas, wherein the precursor substantially includes only C2H2and the additive gas includes Ar.
