Method of fabricating a semiconductor device structure
Methods of fabricating a semiconductor device structure are provided. The method includes forming a fin structure over a substrate. The method also includes forming a gate structure over the fin structure. The method further includes epitaxially growing a source/drain structure covering the fin structure. In addition, the method includes epitaxially growing a capping layer over the source/drain structure. The capping layer has a top portion and a lower portion under the top portion. The top portion has a first thickness and the lower portion has a second. A ratio of the first thickness to the second thickness is in a range of about 1.01 to about 2. The method also includes etching the top portion and the lower portion of the capping layer. The method further includes forming a silicide layer over the source/drain structure and a contact over the silicide layer.
