Abstract:
A semiconductor device and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. The semiconductor device includes a substrate, a metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) transistor, and a dielectric layer. The MOS transistor includes a gate structure formed over the substrate. The dielectric layer is formed aside the gate structure, and the dielectric layer is doped with a strain modulator. An effective lattice constant of the dielectric layer doped with the strain modulator is different from an original lattice constant of the dielectric layer prior to be doped with the strain modulator, wherein the strain modulator at least comprises silicon.

Claim (Index 12):
A semiconductor device, comprising:\n a substrate, having a first region, a second region and a third region; a first metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) transistor in the first region, wherein the first MOS transistor comprises a first gate structure formed over the substrate; a second MOS transistor in the second region, wherein the second MOS transistor comprises a second gate structure formed over the substrate; a dielectric layer aside the first gate structure and the second gate structure, wherein a portion of the dielectric layer comprises a strain modulator; an etch stop layer over the substrate, wherein the etch stop layer is between the first gate structure and the dielectric layer, and between the second gate structure and the dielectric layer, wherein the etch stop layer is in contact with a top surface of the substrate between a spacer of the first gate structure of the first MOS transistor and a doped source and drain region of the first MOS transistor.
