Claim Text:
1. A semiconductor device comprising: a substrate having a first device region and a second device region; a p-type fin field effect transistor in the first device region, wherein the p-type fin field effect transistor includes a first fin structure comprised of a first semiconductor material; and an n-type fin field effect transistor in the second device region, wherein the n-type fin field effect transistor includes a second fin structure comprised of a second semiconductor material, the second semiconductor material being different than the first semiconductor material, wherein the second fin structure has a spacer shape that is different from the shape of the first fin structure, wherein the n-type fin field effect transistor has a bottommost surface in direct physical contact with a topmost surface of an insulator layer of the substrate, wherein the spacer shape of the second fin structure is formed by a first sidewall surface and a second sidewall surface, wherein the first sidewall surface is entirely perpendicular to the topmost surface of the insulator layer, and the second sidewall surface has a lower portion that is entirely perpendicular to the topmost surface of the insulator layer and an upper portion that is not perpendicular to the topmost surface of the insulator layer, and wherein a first high-k gate dielectric of said n-type field effect transistor is in direct physical contact with an entirety of the first sidewall surface and the second sidewall surface of said second fin structure.
