Abstract:
A method of forming a self-forming spacer using oxidation. The self-forming spacer may include forming a fin field effect transistor on a substrate, the fin field effect transistor includes a gate on a fin, the gate is perpendicular to the fin; forming a gate spacer on the gate and a fin spacer on the fin, the gate spacer and the fin spacer are formed in a single step by oxidizing an exposed surface of the gate and an exposed surface of the fin; and removing the fin spacer from the fin.

Claim (Index 1):
A method comprising:\n forming a gate spacer on exposed surfaces of a gate and a fin spacer on exposed surfaces of a semiconductor fin, the gate spacer and the fin spacer are formed in a single step by oxidizing exposed surfaces of gate and the exposed surfaces of the semiconductor fin, wherein the exposed surfaces of the gate include at least an exposed vertical surface and the exposed surfaces of the semiconductor fin include at least an exposed horizontal surface and an exposed vertical surface; and removing the fin spacer from the exposed surfaces of the semiconductor fin using a water wet etch, wherein both the fin spacer and the gate spacer are exposed to the water wet etch, but only the fin spacer is removed and the gate spacer remains on the exposed surfaces of the gate.
