Abstract:
Embodiments are directed to a method and resulting structures for a dual channel complementary metal- oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) having common gate stacks. A first semiconductor fin is formed on a substrate. A second semiconductor fin is formed adjacent to the first semiconductor fin on the substrate. An oxide layer is formed over the first and second semiconductor fins and annealed at a temperature effective to increase a germanium concentration of the second semiconductor fin. The annealing process is selective to the second semiconductor fin and does not increase a germanium concentration of the first semiconductor fin.
