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 18):
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, the method comprising:\n forming a stack of semiconductor materials over a substrate, the stack of semiconductor materials comprising alternating layers of a first semiconductor material and a second semiconductor material; forming first recesses into the stack of semiconductor materials, the first recesses exposing sidewalls of the first semiconductor material and sidewalls of the second semiconductor material; replacing end portions of the first semiconductor material exposed by the first recesses with a dielectric material; forming source/drain regions in the first recesses after the replacing; and selectively removing the first semiconductor material from the stack of semiconductor materials after forming the source/drain regions.
