Source and drain epitaxy forming method capable of improving performance of FinFET device
A method making a fin device structure includes: forming a plurality of fin structures arranged spaced out from each other in a longitudinal direction and covered with a thin oxide layer; forming a plurality of gate structures in a transverse direction; depositing sidewalls covering the thin oxide layer of the gate structures and the fin structures; removing the sidewalls on the gate structures and the sidewalls of the fin structures; removing the thin oxide layer on the sidewalls of the trenches to expand the volume of each trench; forming an epitaxial layer structure at the trenches; the method further includes removing the oxides on the sidewalls to increase the volume of the subsequently grown epitaxial layer, such that it is conducive to increasing the stress and reducing the source and drain resistance, thus improving the performance of the device.
