Forming Source And Drain Features In Semiconductor Devices

A method includes forming a first portion of a spacer layer over a first fin and a second portion of the spacer layer over a second fin, performing a first etching process to recess the first portion of the spacer layer with respect to the second portion of the spacer layer to form first spacers on...

Zusammenfassung:A method includes forming a first portion of a spacer layer over a first fin and a second portion of the spacer layer over a second fin, performing a first etching process to recess the first portion of the spacer layer with respect to the second portion of the spacer layer to form first spacers on sidewalls of the first fin, subsequently performing a second etching process to recess the second portion of the spacer layer with respect to the first spacers to form second spacers on sidewalls of the second fin, where the second spacers are formed to a height greater than that of the first spacers, and forming a first epitaxial source/drain feature and a second epitaxial source/drain feature between the first spacers and the second spacers, respectively, where the first epitaxial source/drain feature is larger than that of the second epitaxial source/drain feature.
