    摘要: A layer of a semiconductor material is epitaxially grown on a single-crystal semiconductor structure and on a polycrystalline semiconductor structure. The epitaxial layer is then etched in order to preserve a non-zero thickness of said material on the single-crystal structure and a zero thickness on the polycrystalline structure. The process of growth and etch is repeated, with the same material or with a different material in each repetition, until a stack of epitaxial layers on said single-crystal structure has reached a desired thickness. The single crystal structure is preferably a source/drain region of a transistor, and the polycrystalline structure is preferably a gate of that transistor.
