Abstract

Devices and methods for forming semiconductor devices with FinFETs are provided. One intermediate semiconductor device includes, for instance: a substrate with at least one fin with at least one channel; at least one gate over the channel; at least one hard-mask over the gate; and at least one spacer disposed over the gate and hard-mask. One method includes, for instance: obtaining an intermediate semiconductor device; forming at least one recess into the substrate, the recess including a bottom and at least one sidewall exposing a portion of the at least one fin; depositing a dielectric layer into the at least one recess; removing at least a portion of the dielectric layer to form a barrier dielectric layer; and performing selective epitaxial growth in the at least one recess over the barrier dielectric layer.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An intermediate semiconductor device comprising:
 a substrate with at least one fin comprising at least one channel;   at least one gate over the at least one channel;   at least one hard-mask over the at least one gate; and   at least one spacer disposed over the at least one gate and at least one hard-mask.   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 at least one shallow trench isolation region in the substrate.   
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 at least one recess in the substrate.   
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 3 , further comprising:
 a barrier dielectric layer in a bottom of the at least one recess.   
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 4 , wherein a top of the barrier dielectric layer is positioned below an exposed active region of the at least one fin. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 5 , further comprising:
 at least one epitaxial growth layer over the barrier dielectric layer.   
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 6 , wherein the at least one epitaxial growth layer comprises:
 a first epitaxial growth layer in at least one first recess; and   a second epitaxial growth layer in at least one second recess.   
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 7 , wherein the first epitaxial growth layer comprises an nFET material and the second epitaxial growth layer comprises a pFET material. 
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 8 , wherein the nFET material is SiGe and the pFET material is Si:C. 
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 6 , wherein the at least one epitaxial growth layer is Si.
