  • Publication number: 20200105615
    Abstract: A method includes etching a hybrid substrate to form a recess in the hybrid substrate, in which the hybrid substrate includes a first semiconductor layer, a dielectric layer over the first semiconductor layer, and a second semiconductor layer over the first semiconductor layer, in which after the etching, a top surface of the first semiconductor layer is exposed to the recess; forming a spacer on a sidewall of the recess, in which the spacer is slanted at a first angle relative to a top surface of the first semiconductor layer; reshaping the spacer such that the a first sidewall of the reshaped spacer is slanted at a second angle relative to the top surface of the first semiconductor layer, in which the second angle is greater than the first angle; and performing a first epitaxy process to grow an epitaxy semiconductor layer in the recess after reshaping the spacer.
