Abstract:
A method includes providing a substrate that underlies a layer of SiGe; forming a plurality of fins in the layer of SiGe. Each formed fin has a fin shape and fin location preserving hard mask layer on a top surface. The method also includes depositing Si on a first subset of the set of fins in what will be an nFET area; performing a Si—Ge inter-mixing process on the first subset of fins to reduce a concentration of Ge in the first subset while producing a Si—Ge intermix layer; removing the Si—Ge intermix layer leaving the first subset of fins having the reduced concentration of Ge, and forming a second subset of fins in what will be a pFET area. The second subset is also formed from the layer of SiGe and has a greater percentage of Ge than a percentage of Ge in the first subset of fins.
