    Abstract: A method of fabricating a semiconductor device includes forming a plurality of semiconductor fins on an insulator layer of a semiconductor substrate, and forming a plurality of gate stacks on the insulator layer. Each gate stack wraps around a respective portion of the semiconductor fins. The method further includes forming a dielectric layer on the insulator layer. The dielectric layer fills voids between the semiconductor fins and gate stacks, and covers the semiconductor fins. The method further includes etching at least one portion of the semiconductor fins until reaching the insulator layer such that at least one cavity is formed. The cavity exposes seed regions of the semiconductor fins located between adjacent gate stacks. The method further includes epitaxially growing a semiconductor material from the seed regions to form source/drain regions corresponding to a respective gate stack.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a finFET and method of fabrication to achieve advantages of both merged and unmerged fins. A first step of epitaxy is performed with either partial diamond or full diamond growth. This is followed by a second step of deposition of a semiconductor cap region on the finFET source/drain area using a directional deposition process, followed by an anneal to perform Solid Phase Epitaxy or poly recrystalization. As a result, the fins remain unmerged, but the epitaxial volume is increased to provide reduced contact resistance. Embodiments of the present invention allow a narrower fin pitch, which enables increased circuit density on an integrated circuit.

    Abstract: A dielectric material layer is formed on a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) substrate including a top semiconductor layer containing a first semiconductor material. An opening is formed within the dielectric material layer, and a trench is formed in the top semiconductor layer within the area of the opening by an etch. A second semiconductor material is deposited to a height above the top surface of the top semiconductor layer employing a selective epitaxy process. Another dielectric material layer can be deposited, and another trench can be formed in the top semiconductor layer. Another semiconductor material can be deposited to a different height employing another selective epitaxy process. The various semiconductor material portions can be patterned to form semiconductor fins having different heights and/or different compositions.
