摘要:
Embodiments disclosed herein relate generally to forming a source/drain region with a high surface dopant concentration at an upper surface of the source/drain region, to which a conductive feature may be formed. In an embodiment, a structure includes an active area on a substrate, a dielectric layer over the active area, and a conductive feature through the dielectric layer to the active area. The active area includes a source/drain region. The source/drain region includes a surface dopant region at an upper surface of the source/drain region, and includes a remainder portion of the source/drain region having a source/drain dopant concentration. The surface dopant region includes a peak dopant concentration proximate the upper surface of the source/drain region. The peak dopant concentration is at least an order of magnitude greater than the source/drain dopant concentration. The conductive feature contacts the source/drain region at the upper surface of the source/drain region.
