Semiconductor device and methods of formation

Abstract

Some implementations described herein include a semiconductor device including a gate-all-around transistor. The gate-all-around transistor includes a source/drain region having a core epitaxial layer and a capping epitaxial layer. The core epitaxial layer is formed within the source/drain region using a deposition recipe having a temperature that is lesser relative to temperatures of other deposition recipes used to form other epitaxial layers, including the capping layer, within the source/drain region. The deposition recipe further includes a pressure that is greater relative to pressures of the other deposition recipes used to form the other epitaxial layers within the source/drain region. The temperature and pressure of the deposition recipe used to form the core epitaxial layer promote a uniform growth of the core epitaxial layer within the source/drain region. In this way, a likelihood of voids and/or defects is reduced to increase a yield of a semiconductor device including the core epitaxial layer.
