Abstract: A semiconductor fin including a single crystalline semiconductor material is formed on a dielectric layer. A semiconductor shell including an epitaxial semiconductor material is formed on all physically exposed surfaces of the semiconductor fin by selective epitaxy, which deposits the semiconductor material only on semiconductor surfaces and not on dielectric surfaces. The epitaxial semiconductor material can be different from the single crystalline semiconductor material, and the semiconductor shell can be bilaterally strained due to lattice mismatch. A fin field effect transistor including a strained channel can be formed. Further, the semiconductor shell can advantageously alter properties of the source and drain regions, for example, by allowing incorporation of more dopants or by facilitating a metallization process.

Abstract: A method of forming a semiconductor structure may include forming at least one fin and forming, over a first portion of the at least one fin structure, a gate. Gate spacers may be formed on the sidewalls of the gate, whereby the forming of the spacers creates recessed regions adjacent the sidewalls of the at least one fin. A first epitaxial region is formed that covers both one of the recessed regions and a second portion of the at least one fin, such that the second portion extends outwardly from one of the gate spacers. A first epitaxial layer is formed within the one of the recessed regions by etching the first epitaxial region and the second portion of the at least one fin. A second epitaxial region is formed at a location adjacent one of the spacers and over the first epitaxial layer within one of the recessed regions.
