A method of controlling the facet height of raised source/drain epi structures using multiple spacers, and the resulting device are provided. Embodiments include providing a gate structure on a SOI layer; forming a first pair of spacers on the SOI layer adjacent to and on opposite sides of the gate structure; forming a second pair of spacers on an upper surface of the first pair of spacers adjacent to and on the opposite sides of the gate structure; and forming a pair of faceted raised source/drain structures on the SOI, each of the faceted source/drain structures faceted at the upper surface of the first pair of spacers, wherein the second pair of spacers is more selective to epitaxial growth than the first pair of spacers.
