Abstract

A method for fabricating semiconductor device includes the steps of: forming a first gate structure on a substrate; performing a first etching process to form a recess adjacent to the first gate structure; performing an ion implantation process to form an amorphous layer directly under the recess; performing a second etching process to remove the amorphous layer; and forming an epitaxial layer in the recess.
