  • Patent number: 10903077
    Abstract: Embodiments are described herein that form silicon germanium nano-wires while reducing or eliminating erosion of nitride layers (e.g., masks and spacers) caused during selective etching of silicon with respect to silicon germanium during formation of silicon germanium nano-wires. oxide layers are used to protect nitride layers during formation of silicon germanium (SiGe) nano-wires. In particular, multilayer spacers including oxide/nitride/oxide layers are formed to protect the nitride layers during selective silicon etch processes that are used to form silicon germanium nano-wires, for example, for field effect transistors (FETs). The multilayer spacers allow for target levels of erosion to be achieved for the nitride layers.
