Techniques are disclosed for resistance reduction in p-MOS transistors having epitaxially grown boron-doped silicon germanium (SiGe:B) S/D regions. The techniques can include growing one or more interface layers between a silicon (Si) channel region of the transistor and the SiGe:B replacement S/D regions. The one or more interface layers may include: a single layer of boron-doped Si (Si:B); a single layer of SiGe:B, where the Ge content in the interface layer is less than that in the resulting SiGe:B S/D regions; a graded layer of SiGe:B, where the Ge content in the alloy starts at a low percentage (or 0%) and is increased to a higher percentage; or multiple stepped layers of SiGe:B, where the Ge content in the alloy starts at a low percentage (or 0%) and is increased to a higher percentage at each step. Inclusion of the interface layer(s) reduces resistance for on-state current flow.
