FinFET structures and methods for making the same. A method includes: creating a plurality of Silicon fins on a first region of a substrate, creating a plurality of Silicon-Germanium fins on a second region of the substrate, adjusting a Silicon fin pitch of the plurality of Silicon fins to a predetermined value, and adjusting a Silicon-Germanium fin pitch of the plurality of Silicon-Germanium fins to a predetermined value, where the creating steps are performed in a manner that Silicon material and Silicon-Germanium material used in making the plurality of fins will be on the semiconductor structure at a same time.
