Abstract:
1. A method for forming a fin field-effect transistor (FinFET) device, the method comprising: forming a set of spacers along each sidewall of a plurality of fins of the FinFET device; forming a first ultra-thin hardmask over the FinFET device; implanting the first ultra-thin hardmask over a first set of fins from the plurality of fins; removing the first ultra-thin hardmask over a second set of fins from the plurality of fins untreated by the implant; forming an epitaxial (epi) layer over the second set of fins; forming a second ultra-thin hardmask over the FinFET device; implanting the second ultra-thin hardmask; removing the second ultra-thin hardmask over the first set of fins; and growing an epi layer over the first set of fins.
