Hybrid bulk finFET and SOI finFET devices and methods for fabrication thereof are provided. In one aspect, a method for fabricating a CMOS circuit having SOI finFET and bulk finFET devices includes the following steps. A wafer is provided having an active layer separated from a substrate by a BOX. Portions of the active layer and BOX are removed in a second region of the wafer so as to expose the substrate. An epitaxial material is grown in the second region of the wafer templated from the substrate. Fins are etched in the active layer and in the epitaxial material using fin lithography hardmasks. Gate stacks are formed covering portions of the fins which serve as channel regions of the SOI finFET/bulk finFET devices. An epitaxial material is grown on exposed portions of the fins which serves as source and drain regions of the SOI finFET/bulk finFET devices.

A method for fabricating a semiconductor device includes forming a gate stack on an active region of a silicon-on-insulator substrate. The active region is within a semiconductor layer and is doped with an p-type dopant. A gate spacer is formed surrounding the gate stack. A first trench is formed in a region reserved for a source region and a second trench is formed in a region reserved for a drain region. The first and second trenches are formed while maintaining exposed the region reserved for the source region and the region reserved for the drain region. Silicon germanium is epitaxially grown within the first trench and the second trench while maintaining exposed the regions reserved for the source and drain regions, respectively.
