Abstract:
A method comprises providing a semiconductor alloy layer on a semiconductor substrate, forming a gate structure on the semiconductor alloy layer, forming source and drain regions in the semiconductor substrate on both sides of the gate structure, removing at least a portion of the semiconductor alloy layer overlying the source and drain regions, and forming a metal silicide region over the source and drain regions.

Claim (Index 1):
A semiconductor device comprising:\n a substrate formed of a semiconductor material; a gate structure formed over the substrate; source and drain regions disposed on either side of the gate structure; a first portion of a semiconductor alloy layer extending below the gate structure, the first portion of the semiconductor alloy layer being formed of a material that is different than the semiconductor material; and a second portion of the semiconductor alloy layer in the source region and the drain region and extending to physically contact the substrate, the second portion of the semiconductor alloy layer includes a material different than the semiconductor material, wherein the second portion of the semiconductor alloy layer includes a silicide of the material of the first portion of the semiconductor alloy layer.
