  • Publication number: 20240088297
    Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device including a Fin FET, a fin structure extending in a first direction is formed over a substrate. An isolation insulating layer is formed over the substrate so that an upper portion of the fin structure is exposed from the isolation insulating layer. A gate structure extending in a second direction crossing the first direction is formed over a part of the fin structure. A fin mask layer is formed on sidewalls of a source/drain region of the fin structure. The source/drain region of the fin structure is recessed. An epitaxial source/drain structure is formed over the recessed fin structure. In the recessing the source/drain region of the fin structure, a plasma process combining etching and deposition processes is used to form a recess having a rounded corner shape in a cross section along the second direction.
