Abstract:
A method of forming a semiconductor device is provided, which includes providing gate structures over an active region and forming a hard mask segment on the active region positioned between a first gate structure and a second gate structure. Cavities are formed in the active region using the gate structures and the hard mask segment as masking features, wherein each cavity has a width substantially equal to a minimum gate-to-gate spacing of the semiconductor device. Epitaxial material is grown in the cavities to form substantially uniform epitaxial structures in the active region.
