Summary:A complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) device includes an NMOS thin body channel including a silicon epitaxial layer. An NMOS insulating layer is formed on a surface of the NMOS thin body channel and surrounds the NMOS thin body channel. An NMOS metal gate is formed on the NMOS insulating layer. The CMOS device further includes a p-channel metal-oxide semiconductor (PMOS) transistor including a PMOS thin body channel including a silicon epitaxial layer. A PMOS insulating layer is formed on a surface of and surrounds the PMOS thin body channel. A PMOS metal gate is formed on the PMOS insulating layer. The NMOS insulating layer includes a silicon oxide layer and the PMOS insulating layer includes an electron-trapping layer, the NMOS insulating layer includes a hole trapping dielectric layer and the PMOS insulating layer includes a silicon oxide layer, or the NMOS insulating layer includes a hole-trapping dielectric layer and the PMOS insulating layer includes an electron-trapping dielectric layer.
