Abstract
A semiconductor device with different configurations of contact structures and a method of fabricating the same are disclosed. The method includes forming first and second fin structures on a substrate, forming n- and p-type source/drain (S/D) regions on the first and second fin structures, respectively, forming first and second oxidation stop layers on the n- and p-type S/D regions, respectively, epitaxially growing first and second semiconductor layers on the first and second oxidation stop layers, respectively, converting the first and second semiconductor layers into first and second semiconductor oxide layers, respectively, forming a first silicide-germanide layer on the p-type S/D region, and forming a second silicide-germanide layer on the first silicide-germanide layer and on the n-type S/D region.
