Abstract:
A source/drain (S/D) structure includes a SiGe structure epitaxially grown and having sloped facets on a recessed fin structure disposed adjacent to a channel portion of a finFET, a first Ge structure having a rounded surface epitaxially grown on the SiGe structure, and a capping layer formed over the rounded surface of the Ge structure. The capping layer may be formed of Si. Such S/D structures provide both a larger physical size for lower contact resistance, and greater volume and concentration of Ge for higher compressive strain applied to the channel portion of the finFET.
