A semiconductor device having epitaxial structures includes a gate structure positioned on a substrate, epitaxial structures formed in the substrate at two sides of the gate structure, and an undoped cap layer formed on the epitaxial structures. The epitaxial structures include a dopant. The epitaxial structures and the undoped cap layer include a first semiconductor material having a first lattice constant and a second semiconductor material having a second lattice constant. The second lattice constant is larger than the first lattice constant. The second semiconductor material in the epitaxial structure includes a first concentration and the second semiconductor material in the undoped cap layer includes a second concentration. The second concentration is lower than the first concentration, and is upwardly decreased.
