Abstract

The method of the present invention includes providing a semiconductor substrate with a recess; performing a pre-cleaning step on the semiconductor substrate; and performing a first reduction step, a lateral etching step and a second reduction step on the semiconductor substrate. The MOS structure includes a semiconductor substrate, a gate structure on the semiconductor substrate, a pair of recesses with beak sections extending to and under the gate structure, and a strain material filling the recess. The recess inside the semiconductor substrate processed by the method including the lateral etching step forms a beak section.
