  • Publication number: 20210057579
    Abstract: A transistor with strained superlattices as source/drain regions includes a substrate. A gate structure is disposed on the substrate. Two superlattices are respectively disposed at two sides of the gate structure and embedded in the substrate. The superlattices are strained. Each of the superlattices is formed by a repeated alternating stacked structure including a first epitaxial silicon germanium and a second epitaxial silicon germanium. The superlattices serve as source/drain regions of the transistor.

  • Patent number: 10644131
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a semiconductor device is disclosed. A fin is formed on a substrate. The fin protrudes from a trench isolation layer on a substrate. The fin comprises a source region, a drain region and a channel region therebetween. A dummy gate strides across the fin and surrounding the channel region. An upper portion of the fin is removed so as to form a hollow channel underneath the dummy gate. A replacement channel layer is in-situ epitaxially grown in the hollow channel.
