  • Patent number: 12245440
    Abstract: A semiconductor includes an active pattern with a lower pattern and sheet patterns spaced apart from the lower pattern in a first direction, a source/drain pattern on the lower pattern, the source/drain pattern being in contact with the sheet patterns, and gate structures on opposite sides of the source/drain pattern, the gate structures being spaced apart from each other along a second direction and including gate electrodes that surround the sheet patterns, wherein the source/drain pattern includes a first epitaxial region having at least one of antimony and bismuth, the first epitaxial region having a bottom part in contact with the lower pattern, but not with the sheet patterns, and a thickness of the bottom part increasing and decreasing away from the gate structures in the second direction, and a second epitaxial region on the first epitaxial region, the second epitaxial region including phosphorus.

  • Publication number: 20240063262
    Abstract: A semiconductor device is provided. The semiconductor device includes: an active pattern extending in on a substrate; nanosheets stacked on the active pattern; a gate electrode on the active pattern and surrounding the nanosheets; a source/drain trench on the active pattern adjacent the gate electrode; and a source/drain region in the source/drain trench, The source/drain region includes: a first layer provided along a sidewall and a bottom surface of the source/drain trench, the first layer having a first n-type impurity doped therein; a second layer on the first layer in the source/drain trench, the second layer having germanium (Ge) doped therein; and a third layer filling a remaining portion of the source/drain trench on the second layer, the third layer having a second n-type impurity doped therein.

  • Publication number: 20230387206
    Abstract: A semiconductor device comprises an active pattern including a lower pattern and a plurality of sheet patterns that are spaced apart from the lower pattern in a first direction, a plurality of gate structures disposed on the lower pattern to be spaced apart from each other in a second direction, each of the gate structures including a gate electrode and gate insulating films, source/drain recesses defined between adjacent gate structures and a source/drain pattern filling the source/drain recesses. Each source/drain pattern may include a first semiconductor liner, which extend along sidewalls and a bottom surface of the source/drain recesses, second semiconductor liners, which are on the first semiconductor liners and extend along the sidewalls and the bottom surface of the source/drain recesses, and a filling semiconductor film, which is on the second semiconductor liners and fills the source/drain recess.
