A method of semiconductor fabrication includes positioning a substrate on a susceptor in a chamber and growing an epitaxial feature on the substrate. The growing includes providing UV radiation to a first region of a surface of the substrate and while providing the UV radiation, growing a first portion of the epitaxial feature on the first region of the surface while concurrently growing a second portion of the epitaxial feature on a second region of the surface of the substrate. The first portion of the epitaxial feature can be greater in thickness than the second portion of the epitaxial feature.
