    摘要: A method of forming a FinFET with a rounded source/drain profile comprises forming a fin in a substrate, etching a source/drain recess in the fin, forming a plurality of source/drain layers in the source/drain recess; and etching at least one of the plurality of source/drain layers. The source/drain layers may be a silicon germanium compound. Etching at the source/drain layers may comprises partially etching each of the plurality of source/drain layers prior to forming subsequent layers of the plurality of source/drain layers. The source/drain layers may be formed with a thickness at a top corner of about 15 nm, and the source/drain layers may each be etched back by about 3 nm prior to forming subsequent layers of the plurality of source/drain layers. Forming the plurality of source/drain layers optionally comprises forming at least five source/drain layers.

    摘要: A method of forming a semiconductor device includes depositing a p-type semiconductor layer over a portion of a semiconductor substrate, depositing a semiconductor layer over the p-type semiconductor layer, wherein the semiconductor layer is free from p-type impurities, forming a gate stack directly over a first portion of the semiconductor layer, and etching a second portion of the semiconductor layer to form a trench extending into the semiconductor layer. At least a surface of the p-type semiconductor layer is exposed to the trench. A source/drain region is formed in the trench. The source/drain region is of n-type.
