Abstract:
Nanowire devices and fin devices are formed in a first region and a second region of a substrate. To form the devices, alternating layers of a first material and a second material are formed, inner spacers are formed adjacent to the layers of the first material, and then the layers of the first material are removed to form nanowires without removing the layers of the first material within the second region. Gate structures of gate dielectrics and gate electrodes are formed within the first region and the second region in order to form the nanowire devices in the first region and the fin devices in the second region.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, the method comprising:\n forming a first semiconductor layer over both a first region and a second region of a semiconductor substrate, the first semiconductor layer comprising a first material; forming a second semiconductor layer over the first region and the second region; removing the first semiconductor layer from over the first region to form a nanowire channel from the second semiconductor layer, wherein the removing the first semiconductor layer from over the first region does not remove the first semiconductor layer from over the second region; and forming a first gate electrode of a first transistor around the nanowire channel, the first transistor being formed in the first region; and forming a second gate electrode of a second transistor over the first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer in the second region, the second transistor being formed in the second region.
