Abstract

An integrated circuit device and method for fabricating the integrated circuit device is disclosed. The method involves providing a substrate; forming a gate structure over the substrate; forming an epitaxial layer in a source and drain region of the substrate that is interposed by the gate structure; and after forming the epitaxial layer, forming a lightly doped source and drain (LDD) feature in the source and drain region.
