    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.

    Abstract: A method includes forming isolations extending into a semiconductor substrate, recessing the isolation regions, wherein a semiconductor region between the isolation regions forms a semiconductor fin, forming a first dielectric layer on the isolation regions and the semiconductor fin, forming a second dielectric layer over the first dielectric layer, planarizing the second dielectric layer and the first dielectric layer, and recessing the first dielectric layer. A portion of the second dielectric layer protrudes higher than remaining portions of the first dielectric layer to form a protruding dielectric fin. A portion of the semiconductor fin protrudes higher than the remaining portions of the first dielectric layer to form a protruding semiconductor fin. A portion of the protruding semiconductor fin is recessed to form a recess, from which an epitaxy semiconductor region is grown. The epitaxy semiconductor region expands laterally to contact a sidewall of the protruding dielectric fin.

    Abstract: A method of forming a semiconductor device includes depositing a p-type semiconductor layer over a portion of a semiconductor substrate, depositing a semiconductor layer over the p-type semiconductor layer, wherein the semiconductor layer is free from p-type impurities, forming a gate stack directly over a first portion of the semiconductor layer, and etching a second portion of the semiconductor layer to form a trench extending into the semiconductor layer. At least a surface of the p-type semiconductor layer is exposed to the trench. A source/drain region is formed in the trench. The source/drain region is of n-type.
