    Abstract: Provided are a semiconductor device and a method of manufacturing the same. The method includes the steps of: forming a first silicon layer on a semiconductor substrate; patterning the first silicon layer formed on the semiconductor substrate, and exposing a channel region; forming a second silicon layer on the semiconductor substrate in which the channel region is exposed; removing the first silicon layer, and forming source and drain regions; and forming a third silicon layer in the source and drain regions. According to the manufacturing method, it is possible to minimize defects in a silicon interface by forming the source and drain using only a selective epitaxial growth method without a dry-etching process. Also, since stress is concentrated to a silicon channel region, hole mobility and driving current characteristics are considerably improved.

    Abstract: A germanium semiconductor device and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. The method includes the steps of: forming an isolation layer on a substrate using a shallow trench; forming a silicon-nitride layer on the substrate, and selectively etching the silicon nitride layer to expose source and drain regions; injecting impurities onto a surface of the substrate over the exposed source and drain regions using delta-doping to form a delta-doping layer; selectively growing a silicon germanium layer containing impurities on the delta-doping layer; rapidly annealing the substrate and forming source and drain regions by diffusion of the impurities; depositing an insulating layer on the entire surface of the substrate; etching the insulating layer and forming source and drain contact parts to be in contact with source and drain terminals; depositing metal over the insulating layer having the source and drain contact parts thereon and forming a metal silicide layer; and after forming the silicide layer, forming the source and drain terminals to be in contact with the silicide layer. Accordingly, the source and drain regions having a shallow junction depth may be ensured by forming the source and drain regions through annealing after delta-doping and selectively growing the silicon germanium layer containing high-concentration impurities. Also, the germanium silicide layer is stably formed by the silicon germanium layer grown in the source and drain regions, and thus contact resistance is lowered and driving current of the device is improved.
