Abstract

See full text

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes performing a pre-amorphous implantation (PAI) process to form an amorphized region on a substrate. The method also includes forming a stress film over the substrate, and performing an annealing process to recrystallize the amorphized region after the stress film is formed. The method further includes forming a recess region on the substrate. The recess region overlies the recrystallized region. The method additionally includes forming an epitaxial stress-inducing material in the recess region.
