Abstract

A FinFET is provided. The FinFET includes a substrate including an NMOS (N-type metal-oxide-semiconductor) region; a plurality of fins formed on the substrate; an isolation layer formed between adjacent fins of the plurality of fins and on the substrate; a gate structure across a length portion of the fin and covering a portion of each of a top surface and sidewalls of the fin; and an in-situ doped epitaxial layer formed on each of the etched fin on both sides of the gate structure. The doping ions in the in-situ doped epitaxial layer are N-type ions.
