    摘要: Semiconductor device may include an active region extending in a first direction, channel layers spaced apart from each other in a vertical direction, a gate structure extending on the active region and the channel layers to surround the channel layers and extending in a second direction, and a source/drain region on the active region adjacent to a side of the gate structure and contacting the plurality of channel layers. The source/drain region includes first to sixth epitaxial layers that are sequentially stacked in the vertical direction and have respective first to sixth germanium (Ge) concentrations. The first Ge concentration is lower than the second Ge concentration, the third Ge concentration is lower than the second Ge concentration and the fourth Ge concentration, and the fifth Ge concentration is lower than the fourth Ge concentration and the sixth Ge concentration.

    摘要: A semiconductor device may include semiconductor patterns, a gate structure, a first spacer, a first semiconductor layer and a second semiconductor layer. The semiconductor patterns may be formed on a substrate, and may be spaced apart from each other in a vertical direction perpendicular to an upper surface of the substrate and may overlap in the vertical direction. The gate structure may be formed on the substrate and the semiconductor patterns. At least portion of the gate structure may be formed vertically between the semiconductor patterns. The first spacer may cover opposite sidewalls of the gate structure, the sidewalls opposite to each other in a first direction. The first semiconductor layer may cover the sidewalls of the semiconductor patterns in the first direction, and surfaces of the first spacer and the substrate. The first semiconductor layer may have a first concentration of impurities. The second semiconductor layer may be formed on the first semiconductor layer, and may have a second concentration of impurities different from the first concentration of impurities. The semiconductor device may have good characteristics and high reliability.

    摘要: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor active region having a vertical stack of multiple spaced-apart semiconductor channel regions thereon. A gate electrode extends on the active region and between the spaced-apart channel regions. A source/drain region contacts the spaced-apart channel regions. The source/drain region includes a stack of at least first, second and third epitaxial layers having different electrical characteristics. The first epitaxial layer contacts the active region and each of the spaced-apart channel regions. The second epitaxial layer contacts a first portion of an upper surface of the first epitaxial layer. The third epitaxial layer contacts a second portion of the upper surface of the first epitaxial layer. Each of the first, second and third epitaxial layers includes silicon germanium (SiGe) with unequal levels of germanium (Ge) therein. A level of germanium in the third epitaxial layer exceeds a level of germanium in the second epitaxial layer, which exceeds a level of germanium in the first epitaxial layer.
