Abstract:
A method is presented for forming equal thickness gate spacers for a CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) device, the method includes forming a PFET (p-type field effect transistor) device and an NFET (n-type field effect transistor) device each including gate masks formed over dummy gates, forming PFET epi growth regions between the dummy gates of the PFET device, forming NFET epi growth regions between the dummy gates of the NFET device, depositing a nitride liner and an oxide over the PFET and NFET epi growth regions, the nitride liner and oxide extending up to the gate masks, and removing the dummy gates and the gate masks to form HKMGs (high-k metal gates) between the PFET and NFET epi growth regions.
