    Abstract: A transistor device formed on a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) substrate including a bulk semiconductor layer, a buried insulation (BOX) layer positioned on the bulk semiconductor layer, and an active semiconductor layer positioned on the BOX layer. The transistor device includes: a gate structure, a sidewall spacer, and a source/drain region; a plurality of distinct openings extending through the active semiconductor layer of the SOI substrate in the source/drain region adjacent the sidewall spacer, each opening of the plurality of openings extending to a respective recess formed in the BOX layer of the SOI substrate in the source/drain region adjacent the sidewall space, wherein each recess extends under a portion of the active semiconductor layer; and an epitaxial (epi) semiconductor material disposed in the recesses in the BOX layer, in the plurality of openings through the active semiconductor layer, and over a surface of the active semiconductor layer.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device is provided that includes a substrate, an active region, a pair of gates, a plurality of semiconductor structures and a plurality of pillar structures. The active region is over the substrate. The pair of gates is formed over the active region, and each gate of the pair of gates includes a gate structure and a pair of spacer structures disposed on sidewalls of the gate structure. The plurality of semiconductor structures is arranged between the pair of gates in an alternating arrangement configuration having a first width and a second width. The first width is substantially equal to a width of the gate structure. The plurality of semiconductor structures is separated by the plurality of pillar structures.
