    Abstract: A method for preventing to form a spacer undercut in SEG pre-clean process is provided. This present invention utilizes HFEG solution to etch the first spacer and the second spacer simultaneously, which can prevent from producing a spacer undercut, meanwhile; a native oxide layer upon a surface of a semiconductor substrate is removed. Hence, the clean surface on the semiconductor substrate is obtained. This method includes the steps as follows: Firstly, the native oxide layer upon the surface of the semiconductor substrate is removed by DHF (HF in deionized water) solution. Then, etching the first spacer and the second spacer at the same time by HFEG (HF diluted by ethylene glycol) solution. Also, the native oxide upon the semiconductor substrate is removed. Therefore, it obtains the clean semiconductor surface without a serious spacer undercut.

    Abstract: First, a substrate with a recess is provided in a semiconductor process. Second, an embedded SiGe layer is formed in the substrate. The embedded SiGe layer includes an epitaxial SiGe material which fills up the recess. Then, a pre-amorphization implant (PAI) procedure is carried out on the embedded SiGe layer to form an amorphous region. Next, a source/drain implanting procedure is carried out on the embedded SiGe layer to form a source doping region and a drain doping region. Later, a source/drain annealing procedure is carried out to form a source and a drain in the substrate. At least one of the pre-amorphization implant procedure and the source/drain implanting procedure is carried out in a cryogenic procedure below −30° C.
