Abstract

A method of forming a semiconductor device includes depositing a p-type semiconductor layer over a portion of a semiconductor substrate, depositing a semiconductor layer over the p-type semiconductor layer, wherein the semiconductor layer is free from p-type impurities, forming a gate stack directly over a first portion of the semiconductor layer, and etching a second portion of the semiconductor layer to form a trench extending into the semiconductor layer. At least a surface of the p-type semiconductor layer is exposed to the trench. A source/drain region is formed in the trench. The source/drain region is of n-type.
