Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to semiconductor structures with source/drain epitaxial stacks having a low-melting point top layer and a high-melting point bottom layer. For example, a semiconductor structure includes a gate structure disposed on a fin and a recess formed in a portion of the fin not covered by the gate structure. Further, the semiconductor structure includes a source/drain epitaxial stack disposed in the recess, where the source/drain epitaxial stack has bottom layer and a top layer with a higher activated dopant concentration than the bottom layer.
