Abstract

An integrated circuit includes a gate structure over a substrate. A silicon-containing material structure is in each of recesses that are adjacent to the gate structure. The silicon-containing material structure has a first region and a second region, the second region is closer to the gate structure than the first region, and the first region is thicker than the second region.
