Abstract

A manufacturing method of a semiconductor device is provided. The method includes at least the following steps. A gate structure is formed on a substrate. An epitaxial structure is formed on the substrate, wherein the epitaxial structure comprises SiGe, and the Ge concentration in the epitaxial structure is equal to or higher than 45%. A first cap layer is formed on the epitaxial structure, wherein the first cap layer comprises Si. The first cap layer is doped with boron for forming a flat top surface of the first cap layer.
