Strained silicon is a layer of silicon in which the silicon atom s are stretched beyond their normal interatomic distance. This can be accomplished by putting the layer of silicon over a Wafer electronics substrate of silicon germanium Silicon Germanium . As the atoms in the silicon layer align with the atoms of the underlying silicon germanium layer which are arranged a little farther apart, with respect to those of a bulk silicon crystal , the links between the silicon atoms become stretched thereby leading to strained silicon. Moving these silicon atoms farther apart reduces the atomic forces that interfere with the movement of electrons through the transistors and thus better Electron mobility mobility , resulting in better chip performance and lower energy consumption. These electron s can move 70 faster allowing strained silicon transistor s to switch 35 faster. More recent advances include deposition of strained silicon using Organometallic chemistry metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy MOVPE with metalorganics as starting sources, e.g. silicon sources silane and dichlorosilane and germanium sources germane , germanium tetrachloride , and isobutylgermane .

Silicon borides also known as boron silicides are lightweight ceramic compounds formed between silicon and boron . Several stoichiometric silicon boride compounds, SiB sub n sub , have been reported silicon triboride, SiB sub 3 sub , silicon tetraboride, SiB sub 4 sub , silicon hexaboride, SiB sub 6 sub , as well as SiB sub n sub n 14, 15, 40, etc. . The n 3 and n 6 phases were reported as being co produced together as a mixture for the first time by Henri Moissan and Alfred Stock in 1900 by briefly heating silicon and boron in a clay vessel. The tetraboride was first reported as being synthesized directly from the elements in 1960 by three independent groups Carl Cline and Donald Sands Ervin Colton and Cyrill Brosset and Bengt Magnusson. It has been proposed that the triboride is a silicon rich version of the tetraboride. Hence, the stoichiometry of either compound could be expressed as SiB sub 4 x sub where x 0 or 1. All the silicon borides are black, crystalline materials of similar density 2.52 and 2.47 g cm sup 3 sup , respectively, for the n 3 4 and 6 compounds. On the Mohs scale of mineral hardness , SiB sub 4 x sub and SiB sub 6 sub are intermediate between diamond 10 and ruby 9 . ref J. W. Mellor, A Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry Vol. 5, Longmans & Co. 1924 p. 27. ref The silicon borides may be grown from boron saturated silicon in either the solid or liquid state. The SiB sub 6 sub crystal structure contains interconnected icosahedra polyhedra with 20 faces , icosihexahedra polyhedra with 26 faces , as well as isolated silicon and boron atoms. Due to the size mismatch between the silicon and boron atoms, silicon can be substituted for boron in the B sub 12 sub icosahedra up to a limiting stoichiometry corresponding to SiB sub 2.89 ... at high temperatures.
