Abstract

A semiconductor structure includes a first pair of source/drain features (S/D), a first stack of channel layers connected to the first pair of S/D, a second pair of S/D, and a second stack of channel layers connected to the second pair of S/D. The first pair of S/D each include a first epitaxial layer having a first dopant, a second epitaxial layer having a second dopant and disposed over the first epitaxial layer and connected to the first stack of channel layers, and a third epitaxial layer having a third dopant and disposed over the second epitaxial layer. The second pair of S/D each include a fourth epitaxial layer having a fourth dopant and connected to the second stack of channel layers, and a fifth epitaxial layer having a fifth dopant and disposed over the fourth epitaxial layer. The first dopant through the fourth dopant are of different species.
