Patent ID: 11621268

Abstract:
A method includes forming a first semiconductor fin over a p-well region of a substrate; forming a second semiconductor fin over an n-well region of a substrate; forming a gate structure crossing the first semiconductor fin and the second semiconductor fin; performing an implantation process to form a source/drain doped region in the first semiconductor fin; etching the second semiconductor fin to form a recess therein; performing a first epitaxy process to grow a first epitaxy layer in the recess; performing a second epitaxy process to grow a second epitaxy layer over the first epitaxy process; etching the second epitaxy layer to round a corner of the second epitaxy layer; forming an interlayer dielectric (ILD) layer covering the first semiconductor fin and the second epitaxy layer, wherein no etching is performed to the first semiconductor fin after forming the gate structure and prior to forming the ILD layer.
