A metal layer is deposited over an underlying material layer. The metal layer includes an elemental metal that can be converted into a dielectric metal-containing compound by plasma oxidation and/or nitridation. A hard mask portion is formed over the metal layer. Plasma oxidation or nitridation is performed to convert physically exposed surfaces of the metal layer into the dielectric metal-containing compound. The sequence of a surface pull back of the hard mask portion, trench etching, another surface pull back, and conversion of top surfaces into the dielectric metal-containing compound are repeated to form a line pattern having a spacing that is not limited by lithographic minimum dimensions.

A FinFET structure is formed by forming a hardmask layer on a substrate including a silicon-containing layer on an insulating layer. The hardmask layer includes first, second and third layers on the silicon-containing layer. An array of fins is formed from the hardmask layer and the silicon-containing layer. A gate is formed covering a portion but not all of a length of each of the array of fins. The portion covers each of the fins in the array. The gate defines source/drain regions on either side of the gate. A spacer is formed on each side of the gate, the forming of the spacer performed to remove the third layer from portions of the fins in the source/drain regions. The second layer of the hardmask layer is removed from the portions of the fins in the source/drain regions, and the fins in the source/drain regions are merged.

A semiconductor material layer is deposited on a p-type source/drain region of a p-type transistor device and an n-type source/drain region of an n-type transistor device. The p-type device transistor device and the n-type transistor device are formed on a substrate of a semiconductor device. The semiconductor device includes a trench formed through an inter-level dielectric layer. The inter-level dielectric layer is formed over the n-type transistor device and the p-type transistor device. The trench exposes the p-type source/drain region of the p-type transistor device and the n-type source/drain region of the n-type transistor device. An element is implanted in the semiconductor material layer to form an amorphous layer on p-type source drain region and the n-type source/drain region. The amorphous layer is annealed to form a first metastable alloy layer upon the p-type source/drain region and a second metastable alloy layer upon the n-type source/drain region.
