Claim Text:
1. A method of fabricating silicon (Si) and silicon germanium (SiGe) fins, the method comprising: forming at least two Si fins on a buried oxide (BOX) layer disposed on a substrate, at least one of the at least two Si fins being formed in a first region and at least one of the at least two Si fins being formed in a second region, the at least one of the at least two Si fins in the second region being thinner than the at least one of the at least two Si fins in the first region; depositing an oxide mask over the first region; epitaxially growing an SiGe layer on the at least one of the at least two Si fins in the second region; and performing a thermal annealing process to drive Ge from the SiGe layer into the at least one of the at least two Si fins in the second region to form at least one SiGe fin in the second region.
