Abstract: A method for fabricating a semiconductor device includes the steps of forming a gate structure on a substrate, forming an epitaxial layer adjacent to the gate structure, and then forming a first cap layer on the epitaxial layer. Preferably, a top surface of the first cap layer includes a curve concave upward and a bottom surface of the first cap layer includes a planar surface higher than a top surface of the substrate.

Abstract: A transistor with strained superlattices as source/drain regions includes a substrate. A gate structure is disposed on the substrate. Two superlattices are respectively disposed at two sides of the gate structure and embedded in the substrate. The superlattices are strained. Each of the superlattices is formed by a repeated alternating stacked structure including a first epitaxial silicon germanium and a second epitaxial silicon germanium. The superlattices serve as source/drain regions of the transistor.
