Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a structure and methods of forming spacers for trench epitaxial structures. The method includes: forming a spacer material between source and drain regions of respective first-type gate structures and second-type gate structures; growing source and drain material about the first-type gate structures, confined within an area defined by the spacer material; and growing source and drain material about the second-type gate structures, confined within an area defined by the spacer material.

Claim (Index 7):
The method of  claim 6 , further comprising etching a mask over the first-type gate structures to expose the source and drain regions associated with the first-type gate structures, while protecting the source and drain regions of the second-type gate structures.
