The semiconductor device structures are provided. The semiconductor device structure includes a gate stack structure formed on a substrate and an isolation structure formed in the substrate. The semiconductor device structure further includes a source/drain stressor structure formed between the gate stack structure and the isolation structure and a metal silicide layer formed on the source/drain stressor structure. A portion of the metal silicide layer is below a top surface of the isolation structure.

Method for forming semiconductor device structure

Methods for forming a semiconductor device structure are provided. The method includes providing a substrate and forming an isolation structure in the substrate. The method also includes forming a gate stack structure on the substrate and etching a portion of the substrate to form a recess in the substrate, and the recess is adjacent to the gate stack structure. The method includes forming a stressor layer in the recess, and a portion of the stressor layer is grown along the (311) and (111) crystal orientations.

Embodiments for forming a semiconductor device structure are provided. The semiconductor device structure includes a substrate and a gate stack structure formed on the substrate. The semiconductor device structure also includes gate spacers formed on sidewalls of the gate stack structure. The semiconductor device structure further includes an isolation structure formed in the substrate and a source/drain stressor structure formed adjacent to the isolation structure. The source/drain stressor structure includes a capping layer which is formed along the (311) and (111) crystal orientations.
