Abstract:
A method includes forming a fin protruding from a substrate; forming an isolation region surrounding the fin; forming a gate structure extending over the fin and the isolation region; etching the fin adjacent the gate structure to form a recess; forming a source/drain region in the recess, including performing a first epitaxial process to grow a first semiconductor material in the recess, wherein the first epitaxial process preferentially forms facet planes of a first crystalline orientation; and performing a second epitaxial process to grow a second semiconductor material on the first semiconductor material, wherein the second epitaxial process preferentially forms facet planes of a second crystalline orientation, wherein a top surface of the second semiconductor material is above a top surface of the fin; and forming a source/drain contact on the source/drain region.
