Abstract:
A method includes forming a plurality of fins on a substrate and a dummy gate structure over the fins. A spacer layer is formed over the dummy gate structure and the fins. The spacer layer is recessed to form asymmetrically recessed spacers along sidewalls of each of the fins, thereby exposing a portion of each of the fins. A source/drain epitaxy is grown on the exposed portions of the plurality of fins, a first source/drain epitaxy on a first fin being asymmetrical to a second source/drain epitaxy on a second fin. A device includes a first and second fin on a substrate with a gate structure formed over the first and second fins. An epitaxy if formed over the first fin and the second fin on the same side of the gate structure, where the height of the first epitaxy is greater than the height of the second epitaxy.

Claim (Index 9):
The device of  claim 1 , further comprising:\n a third epitaxy over a third fin of the substrate on the first side of the gate structure, wherein a height of the third epitaxy is about equal to the height of the first epitaxy, wherein the second fin is interposed between the first fin and the third fin.
