The disclosure provides a semiconductor device and method of manufacture therefore. The method for manufacturing the semiconductor device, in one embodiment, includes providing a substrate having a PMOS device region and NMOS device region. Thereafter, a first gate structure and a second gate structure are formed over the PMOS device region and the NMOS device region, respectively. Additionally, recessed epitaxial SiGe regions may be formed in the substrate on opposing sides of the first gate structure. Moreover, first source/drain regions may be formed on opposing sides of the first gate structure and second source/drain regions on opposing sides of the second gate structure. The first source/drain regions and second source/drain regions may then be annealed to form activated first source/drain regions and activated second source/drain regions, respectively. Additionally, recessed epitaxial carbon doped silicon regions may be formed in the substrate on opposing sides of the second gate structure after annealing.

The present invention facilitates semiconductor device fabrication by providing mechanisms for utilizing different isolation schemes within embedded memory and other logic portions of a device. The isolation mechanism of the embedded memory portion is improved relative to other portions of the device by increasing dopant concentrations or reducing the depth of the dopant profiles within well regions of the embedded memory array. As a result, smaller isolation spacing can be employed thereby permitting a more compact array. The isolation mechanism of the logic portion is relatively less than that of the embedded memory portion, which permits greater operational speed for the logic.

The present invention facilitates semiconductor fabrication by providing methods of fabrication that selectively apply strain to channel regions of devices while mitigating masking operations employed. A CAPOLY layer is formed over an NMOS region of a semiconductor device (102). A recess etch is performed on active regions of devices within a PMOS region of the semiconductor device (104) and the CAPOLY layer prevents etching of devices within an NMOS region of the semiconductor device. Subsequently, an epitaxial formation process (106) is performed that forms or deposits epitaxial regions and introduces a first type of strain across the channel regions in the PMOS region. Then, the semiconductor device is annealed (108) to cause the CAPOLY layer to introduce a second type of strain across the channel regions in the NMOS region. After annealing, the CAPOLY layer is removed (110).
