A semiconductor device comprises a substrate and first and second stress-generating epitaxial regions on the substrate and spaced apart from each other. A channel region is on the substrate and positioned between the first and second stress-generating epitaxial regions. A gate electrode is on the channel region. The channel region is an epitaxial layer, and the first and second stress-generating epitaxial regions impart a stress on the channel region.

A semiconductor structure including a SiGe layer and a method of fabricating the same are provided. The structure includes a silicon layer heavily doped with impurities. A SiGe layer is disposed on the silicon layer. A strained silicon layer is disposed on the SiGe layer. The impurities may be boron. The boron in the silicon layer may have a concentration of 1016 to 1020/cm3. Boron in the SiGe layer, diffused from the silicon substrate or directly doped, may suppress movement of misfit dislocation occurring in the SiGe layer toward the surface, thereby reducing a threading dislocation density near the surface of the strained silicon layer.

A method according to example embodiments includes forming isolation regions in a substrate, the isolation regions defining active regions. Desired regions of the active regions and the isolation regions are removed, thereby forming recess channel trenches to a desired depth. The recess channel trenches are fog to have a first region in contact with the active regions and a second region in contact with the isolation regions. A width of a bottom surface of the recess channel trenches is less than that of a top surface thereof. The active regions and the isolation regions are annealed to uplift the bottom surface of the recess channel trenches. An area of the bottom surface of the first region is increased. A depth of the bottom surface of the first region is reduced.

Methods of fabricating semiconductor devices are provided. A substrate having active patterns and isolating layer patterns is prepared. Each of the isolating layer patterns has an upper surface higher than that of each of the active patterns. A spacer layer having a uniform thickness is formed on the substrate. The spacer layer is etched to form a spacer on a sidewall of each of the isolating layer patterns. A gate structure is formed on each of the active patterns. A selective epitaxial growth (SEG) process is performed on the active patterns having the gate structure to form isolated epitaxial layers that have upper surfaces higher than those of the isolating layer patterns, on the active patterns. Related semiconductor devices are also provided.
