Abstract:
Epitaxial structures of a fin-like field effect transistor (FinFET) device includes a substrate, a fin structure including two fins, inner and outer fin spacers formed along both sidewalls of the fins, and isolation regions formed around the fins. The FinFET device further includes a gate structure formed over the fin structure and an epitaxial structure formed over the fin structure in a source/drain region. The epitaxial structure is formed by merging the fins with at least one epitaxial semiconductor layer and includes an air gap having a volume determined by the height and separation distance of the inner fin spacers.

Claim (Index 23):
The device of  claim 22 , wherein the first epitaxial material, the second epitaxial material and the third epitaxial material include the same dopant,\n wherein the dopant concentration in the first epitaxial material is different than the dopant concentration in the second epitaxial material, and wherein the dopant concentration in the second epitaxial material is different than the dopant concentration in the third epitaxial material.
