Semiconductor arrangement and method of manufacture

Abstract:

A method for forming a semiconductor arrangement comprises forming a fin over a semiconductor layer. A gate structure is formed over a first portion of the fin. A second portion of the fin adjacent to the first portion of the fin and a portion of the semiconductor layer below the second portion of the fin are removed to define a recess. A stress-inducing material is formed in the recess. A first semiconductor material is formed in the recess over the stress-inducing material. The first semiconductor material is different than the stress-inducing material.
