    摘要: The present application discloses a method of manufacturing a semiconductor structure. According to at least one embodiment, a first etch stop layer is formed over a conductive feature and a substrate, and the conductive feature is positioned over the substrate. A second etch stop layer is formed over the first etch stop layer. A first etch is performed to form an opening in the second etch stop layer, and the opening exposes a portion of the first etch stop layer. A second etch is performed to extend the opening downwardly by removing a portion of the exposed first etch stop layer, and the extended opening exposes a portion of the conductive feature.

    摘要: An embodiment of the disclosure includes a method of forming a semiconductor structure. A substrate has a region adjacent to a shallow trench isolation (STI) structure in the substrate. A patterned mask layer is formed over the substrate. The patterned mask layer covers the STI structure and a portion of the region, and leaves a remaining portion of the region exposed. A distance between an edge of the remaining portion and an edge of the STI structure is substantially longer than 1 nm. The remaining portion of the region is etched thereby forms a recess in the substrate. A stressor is epitaxially grown in the recess. A conductive plug contacting the stressor is formed.
