    Abstract: At least one method, apparatus and system providing semiconductor devices comprising a semiconductor substrate; a first fin and a second fin on the semiconductor substrate; a first epitaxial formation on the first fin and having an inner surface oriented toward the second fin and an outer surface oriented away from the second fin; a second epitaxial formation on the second fin and having an inner surface oriented toward the first fin and an outer surface oriented away from the first fin; and a conformal dielectric layer on at least portions of the inner and outer surfaces of the first epitaxial formation, on at least portions of the inner and outer surfaces of the first epitaxial formation and the second epitaxial formation, and merged between the inner surface of the first epitaxial formation and inner surface of the second epitaxial formation.

    Abstract: One aspect of the disclosure is directed to a method of forming a semiconductor structure. The method including: removing each fin in a set of fins from between insulator pillars to expose a portion of a substrate between each insulator pillar, the substrate having a first device region and a second device region; forming a first material over the exposed portions of the substrate between each insulator pillar, the first material including a two-dimensional material; forming a second material over the first material in the first device region, the second material including a first three-dimensional bonding material; and forming a third material over the exposed first material in the second device region, the third material including a second three-dimensional bonding material.
