Abstract
Semiconductor devices and methods of forming the same are provided. In one embodiments, a semiconductor device includes an n-type transistor region and a p-type transistor region. The n-type transistor region includes a first gate stack, a first gate spacer over sidewalls of the first gate stack, an n-type epitaxial feature in a source/drain (S/D) region of the n-type transistor region, and a first metal silicide layer over the n-type epitaxial feature. The p-type transistor region includes a second gate stack, a second gate spacer over sidewalls of the second gate stack, a p-type epitaxial feature in an S/D region of the p-type transistor region, a dopant-containing implant layer over the p-type epitaxial feature, and a second metal silicide layer over the dopant-containing implant layer. The dopant-containing implant layer includes a metallic dopant.
