摘要: A device including a gate stack over a semiconductor substrate having a pair of spacers abutting sidewalls of the gate stack. A recess is formed in the semiconductor substrate adjacent the gate stack. The recess has a first profile having substantially vertical sidewalls and a second profile contiguous with and below the first profile. The first and second profiles provide a bottle-neck shaped profile of the recess in the semiconductor substrate, the second profile having a greater width within the semiconductor substrate than the first profile. The recess is filled with a semiconductor material. A pair of spacers are disposed overly the semiconductor substrate adjacent the recess.

摘要: In a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, an isolation insulating layer is formed over a fin structure. A first portion of the fin structure is exposed from and a second portion of the fin structure is embedded in the isolation insulating layer. A dielectric layer is formed over sidewalls of the first portion of the fin structure. The first portion of the fin structure and a part of the second portion of the fin structure in a source/drain region are removed, thereby forming a trench. A source/drain epitaxial structure is formed in the trench using one of a first process or a second process. The first process comprises an enhanced epitaxial growth process having an enhanced growth rate for a preferred crystallographic facet, and the second process comprises using a modified etch process to reduce a width of the source/drain epitaxial structure.
