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 6):
The semiconductor device of  claim 1 , wherein the epitaxial layer includes SEG Si doped with an N-type dopant, SEG SiGe doped with an N-type dopant, or SEG SiC doped with an N-type dopant, and\n the interface layer includes SEG Si doped with phosphorus, SEG SiGe doped with phosphorus, or SEG SiC doped with phosphorus, and the phosphorus concentration of the interface layer is higher than an N-type dopant concentration of the epitaxial layer.
