Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a substrate having a P-type device region and an N-type device region, wherein the P-type device region includes germanium dopants. A first gate oxide layer is formed on the P-type device region and a second gate oxide layer is formed on the N-type device region. The first gate oxide layer and the second gate oxide layer are formed through a same oxidation process. The first gate oxide layer includes nitrogen dopants and the second gate oxide layer does not include the nitrogen dopants.

Abstract: A method for fabricating a semiconductor device is disclosed. A fin is formed on a substrate. The fin protrudes from a trench isolation layer on a substrate. The fin comprises a source region, a drain region and a channel region therebetween. A dummy gate strides across the fin and surrounding the channel region. An upper portion of the fin is removed so as to form a hollow channel underneath the dummy gate. A replacement channel layer is in-situ epitaxially grown in the hollow channel.
