Abstract:
A semiconductor device and a method of fabricating the same are provided. The semiconductor device comprises a first multi-channel active pattern which is defined by a field insulating layer, extends along a first direction, and includes a first portion and a second portion; a gate electrode which extends along a second direction different from the first direction and is formed on the first portion; and a first source/drain region which is formed around the second portion protruding further upward than a top surface of the field insulating layer and contacts the field insulating layer, wherein the second portion is disposed on both sides of the first portion in the first direction and is more recessed than the first portion, a top surface of the first portion and a top surface of the second portion protrude further upward than the top surface of the field insulating layer, and a profile of sidewalls of the second portion is continuous.
Abstract:
Semiconductor devices including a stressor in a recess and methods of forming the semiconductor devices are provided. The methods may include forming a trench in an active region and the trench may include a notched portion of the active region. The methods may also include forming an embedded stressor in the trench. The embedded stressor may include a lower semiconductor layer and an upper semiconductor layer, which has a width narrower than a width of the lower semiconductor layer. A side of the upper semiconductor layer may not be aligned with a side of the lower semiconductor layer and an uppermost surface of the upper semiconductor layer may be higher than an uppermost surface of the active region.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes partially removing an upper portion of an active fin of a substrate loaded in a chamber to form a trench; and forming a source/drain layer in the trench, which includes providing a silicon source gas, a germanium source gas, an etching gas and a carrier gas into the chamber to perform a selective epitaxial growth (SEG) process using a top surface of the active fin exposed by the trench as a seed so that a silicon-germanium layer is grown; and purging the chamber by providing the carrier gas into the chamber to etch the silicon-germanium layer.
