Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes providing a semiconductor structure having a semiconductor substrate and a gate structure on the semiconductor substrate. The gate structure includes a gate dielectric layer on the semiconductor substrate, a gate on the gate dielectric layer, and a spacer layer on opposite sides of the gate. The method also includes etching the semiconductor substrate to form first and second recesses, etching a portion of the spacer layer to expose a surface portion of the semiconductor substrate, and forming a source filling the first recess and a drain filling the second recess. The source (drain) includes a first source (drain) portion in the first (second) recess and a second source (drain) portion on the first source (drain) portion. The second source portion or the second drain portion covers the exposed surface portion of the semiconductor substrate.

Claim (Index 20):
The semiconductor device of  claim 12 , wherein the source and the drain each comprise carbon, fluorine, and/or nitrogen.
