Abstract:
The invention relates to a method comprising providing a substrate with a channel layer, forming a gate stack structure on the channel layer and forming a raised source and a raised drain on the channel layer. The method further comprises depositing in a non-conformal way an oxide layer above the gate stack structure, the raised source and the raised drain. A first void above the raised source and a second void above the raised drain gate are created adjacent to vertical edges of the gate stack structure. The method further comprises etching the oxide layer for a predefined etching time, thereby removing the oxide layer above the raised source and the raised drain, while keeping it at least partly on the channel layer. Contacts are formed to the raised source and the raised drain. The invention also concerns a corresponding computer program product.

Claim (Index 13):
A semiconductor device as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein the faceted side portions are angled with an angle from 30 degree to 80 degree relative to a bottom surface of the raised source and the raised drain.
