Abstract

A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device with epitaxial structure includes following steps: A substrate including a plurality of gate structures formed thereon is provided, and a spacer is respectively formed on sidewalls of each gate structure. Next, a first etching process is performed to form a first recess respectively at two sides of the gate structures and followed by performing an ion implantation to the first recesses. After the ion implantation, a second etching process is performed to widen the first recesses to form widened first recesses and to form a second recess respectively at a bottom of each widened first recess. Then, an epitaxial structure is respectively formed in the widened first recesses and the second recesses.
