Abstract
Provided is a method of manufacturing a microelectronic device. In one example where the device includes a semiconductor substrate with a gate feature and a shallow junction, the method includes introducing dopants to the substrate to form a source region and a drain region. A strained layer may be formed over the substrate after introducing the dopants, and an annealing process may be performed after forming the strained layer.
