Abstract:
Semiconductor devices include a strain-inducing layer capable of applying a strain to a channel region of a transistor included in a miniaturized electronic device, and a method of manufacturing the semiconductor device. The semiconductor device includes a substrate having a channel region; a pair of source/drain regions provided on the substrate and arranged on both sides of the channel region in a first direction; and a gate structure provided on the channel region and comprising a gate electrode pattern extending in a second direction that is different from the first direction, a gate dielectric layer disposed between the channel region and the gate electrode pattern, and a gate spacer covering respective lateral surfaces of the gate electrode pattern and the gate dielectric layer. At least one of the source/drain regions includes a first strain-inducing layer and a second strain-inducing layer. The first strain-inducing layer is disposed between a lateral surface of the channel region and the second strain-inducing layer and contacts at least a portion of the gate dielectric layer.

Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a first region having a first active pattern with first protrusion portions and first recess portions, and a second region having a second active pattern with second protrusion portions and second recess portions. First gate patterns are on the first protrusion portions. Second gate patterns are on the second protrusion portions. A first source/drain region is on one of the first recess portion of the first active pattern between two of the first gate patterns. The first source/drain region has a first reinforcing epitaxial layer at an upper portion thereof. A second source/drain region is on one of the second recess portions of the second active pattern between two of the second gate patterns. The second source/drain region has a second reinforcing epitaxial layer having an epitaxial growth surface that is shaped differently than a first epitaxial growth surface of the first reinforcing epitaxial layer.
