Abstract
•The basic strain physics behind the CMOS device is explained and future cases of technological importance to the industry are introduced. •Strain Engineering offers very large improvements in nanoscale MOSFETs and is scalable to the end of the Si CMOS roadmap. •Strain combined with new channel material such as Ge has a bright future and can enhance CMOS technology.
