Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate and a plurality of transistors. The semiconductor substrate includes at least an iso region (namely an open region) and at least a dense region. The transistors are disposed in the iso region and the dense region respectively. Each transistor includes at least a source/drain region. The source/drain region includes a first epitaxial layer having a bottom thickness and a side thickness, and the bottom thickness is substantially larger than or equal to the side thickness.
