    Abstract: Devices and methods of growing unmerged epitaxy for fin field-effect transistor (FinFet) devices are provided. One method includes, for instance: obtaining a wafer having at least one source, at least one drain, and at least one fin; etching to expose at least a portion of the at least one fin; forming at least one sacrificial gate structure; and forming a first layer of an epitaxial growth on the at least one fin. One device includes, for instance: a wafer having at least one source, at least one drain, and at least one fin; a first layer of an epitaxial growth on the at least one fin; at least one second layer of an epitaxial growth superimposing the first layer of an epitaxial growth; and a first contact region over the at least one source and a second contact region over the at least one drain.

    Abstract: Circuit fabrication methods are provided which include, for example: providing one or more gate structures disposed over a substrate structure, the substrate structure including a first region and a second region; forming a plurality of U-shaped cavities extending into the substrate structure in the first region and the second region thereof, where at least one first cavity of the plurality of U-shaped cavities is disposed adjacent in one gate structure in the first region; and expanding the at least one first cavity further into the substrate structure to at least partially undercut the one gate structure, without expanding at least one second cavity of the plurality of U-shaped cavities, where forming the plurality of U-shaped cavities facilitates fabricating the circuit structure. In one embodiment, the circuit structure includes first and second transistors, having different device architectures, the first transistor having a higher mobility characteristic than the second transistor.
