Abstract: A device comprises a gate structure, n-type source/drain features, p-type source/drain features, an NFET channel, and a PFET channel. The gate structure is over a substrate. The n-type source/drain features are on opposite first and second sides of the gate structure, respectively. The p-type source/drain features are on opposite third and fourth sides of the gate structure, respectively. The NFET channel extends within the gate structure and connects the n-type source/drain features. The PFET channel extends within the gate structure and connects the p-type source/drain features. The NFET channel and the PFET channel are vertically spaced apart by the gate structure.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming an alloy semiconductor material layer comprising a first element and a second element on a semiconductor substrate. A mask is formed on the alloy semiconductor material layer to provide a masked portion and an unmasked portion of the alloy semiconductor material layer. The unmasked portion of the alloy semiconductor material layer not covered by the mask is irradiated with radiation from a radiation source to transform the alloy semiconductor material layer so that a surface region of the unmasked portion of the alloy semiconductor material layer has a higher concentration of the second element than an internal region of the unmasked portion of the alloy semiconductor material layer. The surface region surrounds the internal region.
