Embodiments of semiconductor devices and methods for fabricating the semiconductor devices are provided. The method includes forming a cavity in a semiconductor region laterally adjacent to a gate electrode structure of a transistor. The gate electrode structure is disposed on a channel region of a first silicon-germanium alloy. A strain-inducing silicon-germanium alloy is formed in the cavity and in contact with the first silicon-germanium alloy. The strain-inducing silicon-germanium alloy includes carbon and has a composition different from the first silicon-germanium alloy. |
