Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes an n-type FET device and a p-type FET device. The n-type FET device includes a first substrate region, a first gate stack, a first gate spacer over sidewalls of the first gate stack, and an n-type epitaxial feature in a source/drain (S/D) region of the n-type FET device. The p-type FET device includes a second substrate region, a second gate stack, a second gate spacer over sidewalls of the second gate stack, and a p-type epitaxial feature in an S/D region of the p-type FET device. A vertical distance between a bottom surface of the first gate spacer and a lowest point of an upper surface of the n-type epitaxial feature is greater than a vertical distance between a bottom surface of the second gate spacer and a lowest point of an upper surface of the p-type epitaxial feature.
