Semiconductor device and manufacturing method thereof

Semiconductor devices and methods of manufacture thereof are described. In an embodiment, a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device may include: patterning a substrate to have a first region and a second region extending from the first region of the substrate; depositing an isolation layer over a surface of the first region of the substrate; and epitaxially forming source/drain regions over the isolation layer and adjacent to sidewalls of the second region of the substrate.

Semiconductor devices and methods of manufacture thereof

A semiconductor device manufacturing method includes preparing a wafer having projections formed on a substrate. The projections project upward from a surface of the substrate and have a height measured from the surface of the substrate. The method further includes determining an interval distribution representing a distribution of intervals between neighboring projections and calculating an implantation angle based on the height and the interval distribution. The implantation angle is an angle between a normal direction of the substrate and an implantation direction. The method also includes implanting ions at the calculated implantation angle.
