Abstract:
A method includes forming a first transistor including forming a first gate stack, epitaxially growing a first source/drain region on a side of the first gate stack, and performing a first implantation to implant the first source/drain region. The method further includes forming a second transistor including forming a second gate stack, forming a second gate spacer on a sidewall of the second gate stack, epitaxially growing a second source/drain region on a side of the second gate stack, and performing a second implantation to implant the second source/drain region. An inter-layer dielectric is formed to cover the first source/drain region and the second source/drain region. The first implantation is performed before the inter-layer dielectric is formed, and the second implantation is performed after the inter-layer dielectric is formed.

Claim (Index 17):
A method comprising:\n forming a first transistor comprising:\n forming a first gate stack; \n forming a first gate spacer, wherein the first gate spacer comprises an inner sidewall contacting the first gate stack, and an outer sidewall; \n epitaxially growing a first source/drain region on a side of the first gate spacer; \n forming an inter-layer dielectric to cover the first source/drain region; and performing a first implantation process to form a first implanted region in the first source/drain region, with an n-type or a p-type impurity being implanted, wherein an inner edge of the first implanted region closest to the first gate spacer is spaced apart from the outer sidewall of the first gate spacer by a distance.
