Abstract: A semiconductor device preferably includes a substrate, a fin-shaped structure on the substrate, a buffer layer on the fin-shaped structure, and an epitaxial layer on the buffer layer. Preferably, the buffer layer is made of silicon germanium and including three or more than three elements. The buffer layer also includes dopants selected from the group consisting of P, As, Sb, Bi, C, and F.

Abstract: A semiconductor device is provided, including a substrate with an isolation layer formed thereon, wherein the substrate has a fin protruding up through the isolation layer to form a top surface and a pair of lateral sidewalls of the fin above the isolation layer; a silicon-germanium (SiGe) layer epitaxially grown on the top surface and the lateral sidewalls of the fin; and a gate stack formed on the isolation layer and across the fin, wherein the fin and the gate stack respectively extend along a first direction and a second direction. The SiGe layer formed on the top surface has a first thickness, the SiGe layer formed on said lateral sidewall has a second thickness, and a ratio of the first thickness to the second thickness is in a range of 1:10 to 1:30.
