A metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) transistor device is provided. The MOS
transistor device includes a substrate, a gate structure, a spacer, a
source/drain region and a barrier layer. The gate structure is disposed
on the substrate. The gate structure includes a gate and a gate
dielectric layer disposed between the gate and the substrate. The spacer
is disposed on the sidewall of the gate structure. The source/drain
region is disposed in the substrate on two sides of the spacer. The
barrier layer is disposed around the source/drain region. The
source/drain region and the barrier layer are fabricated using an
identical material. However, the doping concentration of the source/drain
region is larger than the doping concentration of the barrier layer.
