Abstract
A method for forming a semiconductor device includes patterning a substrate to form a strip including a first semiconductor material, forming an isolation region along a sidewall of the strip, an upper portion of the strip extending above the isolation region, forming a dummy structure along sidewalls and a top surface of the upper portion of the strip, performing a first etching process on an exposed portion of the upper portion of the strip to form a first recess, the exposed portion of the strip being exposed by the dummy structure, after performing the first etching process, reshaping the first recess to have a V-shaped bottom surface using a second etching process, wherein the second etching process is selective to first crystalline planes having a first orientation relative to second crystalline planes having a second orientation, and epitaxially growing a source/drain region in the reshaped first recess.
