    摘要: An integrated circuit structure includes a semiconductor substrate, insulation regions extending into the semiconductor substrate, with the insulation regions including first top surfaces and second top surfaces lower than the first top surfaces, a semiconductor fin over the first top surfaces of the insulation regions, a gate stack on a top surface and sidewalls of the semiconductor fin, and a source/drain region on a side of the gate stack. The source/drain region includes a first portion having opposite sidewalls that are substantially parallel to each other, with the first portion being lower than the first top surfaces and higher than the second top surfaces of the insulation regions, and a second portion over the first portion, with the second portion being wider than the first portion.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a stacked structure of first semiconductor layers and second semiconductor layers alternately stacked in a first direction over a substrate. A thickness of the first semiconductor layers as formed increases in each first semiconductor layer spaced further apart from the substrate in the first direction. The stacked structure is patterned into a fin structure extending along a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction. A portion of the first semiconductor layers between adjacent second semiconductor layers is removed, and a gate structure is formed extending in a third direction over a first portion of the first semiconductor layers so that the gate structure wraps around the first semiconductor layers. The third direction is substantially perpendicular to both the first direction and the second direction. Each of the first semiconductor layers at the first portion of the first semiconductor layers have a substantially same thickness.
