Abstract
A device includes a semiconductor substrate, a first Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (MOS) device, and a second MOS device of a same conductivity as the first MOS device. The first MOS device includes a first gate stack over the semiconductor substrate, and a first stressor adjacent to the first gate stack and extending into the semiconductor substrate. The first stressor and the first gate stack have a first distance. The second MOS device includes a second gate stack over the semiconductor substrate, and a second stressor adjacent to the second gate stack and extending into the semiconductor substrate. The second stressor and the second gate stack have a second distance greater than the first distance.
