Abstract:
A FinFET device and a method of forming the same are provided. A method includes forming a fin extending above an isolation region. A sacrificial gate is formed over the fin. A first dielectric material is selectively deposited on sidewalls of the sacrificial gate to form spacers on the sidewalls of the sacrificial gate. The fin is patterned using the sacrificial gate and the spacers as a combined mask to form a recess in the fin. An epitaxial source/drain region is formed in the recess.

Claim (Index 9):
The method of  claim 8 , further comprising:\n before performing the fluorination process on the patterned mask, forming a second dielectric material on sidewalls and a top surface of the patterned mask.
