Abstract:
An integrated circuit structure includes a gate stack over a semiconductor substrate, and a silicon germanium region extending into the semiconductor substrate and adjacent to the gate stack. The silicon germanium region has a top surface, with a center portion of the top surface recessed from edge portions of the top surface to form a recess. The edge portions are on opposite sides of the center portion.

Claim (Index 16):
A device comprising:\n a substrate; a first semiconductor region extending into the substrate, wherein the first semiconductor region is disposed between a first gate stack and a second gate stack adjacent the first gate stack; a first semiconductor cap over and forming a first interface with the first semiconductor region, wherein the first semiconductor cap has less germanium than first semiconductor region, wherein the first interface comprises a center portion lower than edge portions of the first interface; a second semiconductor region extending into the substrate, wherein the second semiconductor region is disposed between a third gate stack and a fourth gate stack adjacent the third gate stack; and a second semiconductor cap over and forming a second interface with the second semiconductor region, wherein the second semiconductor cap has a different material composition than the second semiconductor region, wherein the second interface has a different profile than the first interface.
