    Abstract: Structures for a field-effect transistor and methods of forming a structure for a field-effect transistor. A gate structure is arranged over a channel region of a semiconductor body. A first source/drain region is coupled to a first portion of the semiconductor body, and a second source/drain region is located in a second portion the semiconductor body. The first source/drain region includes an epitaxial semiconductor layer containing a first concentration of a dopant. The second source/drain region contains a second concentration of the dopant. The channel region is positioned in the semiconductor body between the first source/drain region and the second source/drain region.

    Abstract: Structures for a field-effect transistor and methods of forming a structure for a field-effect transistor. A gate structure extends over a channel region in a semiconductor body. The gate structure has a first side surface and a second side surface opposite the first side surface. A first source/drain region is positioned adjacent to the first side surface of the gate structure and a second source/drain region is positioned adjacent to the second side surface of the gate structure. The first source/drain region includes a first epitaxial semiconductor layer, and the second source/drain region includes a second epitaxial semiconductor layer. A first top surface of the first epitaxial semiconductor layer is positioned at a first distance from the channel region, a second top surface of the second epitaxial semiconductor layer is positioned at a second distance from the channel region, and the first distance is greater than the second distance.

    Abstract: One illustrative transistor device disclosed herein includes a gate structure positioned above a semiconductor substrate and first and second overall epitaxial cavities formed in the semiconductor substrate on opposite sides of the gate structure. In one embodiment, each of the first and second overall epitaxial cavities includes a substantially vertically oriented upper epitaxial cavity and a lower epitaxial cavity, wherein the substantially vertically oriented upper epitaxial cavity extends from an upper surface of the semiconductor substrate to the lower epitaxial cavity. A lateral width of the lower epitaxial cavity is greater than a lateral width of the upper epitaxial cavity. The device also includes epitaxial semiconductor material positioned in each of the first and second overall epitaxial cavities.
