摘要 |
This disclosure relates to a semiconductor device and a manufacturing method thereof. The semiconductor device comprises: a patterned stacked structure formed on a semiconductor substrate, the stacked structure comprising a silicon-containing semiconductor layer overlaying the semiconductor substrate, a gate dielectric layer overlaying the silicon-containing semiconductor layer and a gate layer overlaying the gate dielectric layer; and a doped epitaxial semiconductor layer on opposing sides of the silicon-containing semiconductor layer forming raised source/drain extension regions. Optionally, the silicon-containing semiconductor layer may be used as a channel region. According to this disclosure, the source/drain extension regions can be advantageously made to have a shallow junction depth (or a small thickness) and a high doping concentration.
