Abstract

A method of manufacturing a source structure for a p-type metal-oxide-semiconductor (PMOS) field effect transistor (FET) is provided. In the method, a first epitaxial layer comprising Si1-xGex is formed on a source region of an FET, a second epitaxial layer comprising Si1-yGey is formed on the first epitaxial layer, a third epitaxial layer comprising Si1-zGez is formed on the second epitaxial layer. Z is smaller than y.
