= Strained silicon
{wiki=Strained_silicon}
Strained silicon refers to a modified form of silicon that has undergone mechanical deformation to enhance its electrical properties, particularly in semiconductor applications. This technique is used primarily in the manufacturing of transistors and integrated circuits. \#\#\# Key Points about Strained Silicon: 1. **Mechanical Strain**: Straining silicon involves stretching or compressing the material to create a lattice deformation.
