Abstract

See full text

A method of forming a semiconductor device that includes forming a high-k dielectric fin liner on the first plurality of fin structures in a first device region and a second plurality of fin structures in a second device region, and forming a gate structure including a low-k dielectric gate sidewall spacer on the channel region of the first and second plurality of fin structures. A first epitaxial semiconductor material on the first plurality of fin structures from which the high-k dielectric fin liner has been removed. The first epitaxial semiconductor material is then oxidized, and a remaining portion of the high-k dielectric fin liner is removed. A second epitaxial semiconductor material is formed on the second plurality of fin structures.
