Abstract
A semiconductor device, and a method for manufacturing the same, comprises a source/drain region formed using a solid phase epitaxy (SPE) process to provide partially isolated source/drain transistors. Amorphous semiconductor material at the source/drain region is crystallized and then shrunk through annealing, to apply tensile stress in the channel direction.
