Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate and attenuated semiconductor fins (e.g. FinFET fins) that include an outer portion that is a composite of a first material and a second material, an inner portion that is the second material, and an attenuation portion that is an attenuated composite of the first and second materials. The attenuation portion may be formed by diffusing the first material into a plurality of fins made of the second material. The attenuated composite attenuates from a first composite to a second composite, the first composite comprising a majority of the first material, the second composite comprising a majority of the second material. The outer portion may be located on the fin perimeter and the inner portion may be located central to the fin. The first material may be Germanium, the second material may be Silicon, and the attenuated composite may be attenuated Silicon Germanium.
