Abstract:
A method for fabricating a semiconductor device includes: forming a semiconductor structure including a pattern; forming an epitaxial layer having a first dopant concentration in the pattern; forming in-situ an interface layer having a second dopant concentration higher than the first dopant concentration, over the epitaxial layer; forming a metal silicide layer over the interface layer; and forming a metal plug over the metal silicide layer.

Claim (Index 11):
The semiconductor device of  claim 9 , wherein the gate structure comprising:\n a gate electrode formed over the semiconductor substrate; and gate spacers formed on both sidewalls of the gate electrode, wherein the epitaxial layer and the interface layer are contact with bottom corners of the gate spacers.
