  • Patent number: 11043494
    Abstract: A method for fabricating fin field effect transistors comprises creating a pattern of self-aligned small cavities for P-type material growth using at least two hard mask layers, generating a pre-defined isolation area around each small cavity using a vertical spacer, selectively removing N-type material from the self-aligned small cavities, and growing P-type material in the small cavities. The P-type material may be silicon germanium (SiGe) and the N-type material may be tensile Silicon (t-Si). The pattern of self-aligned small cavities for P-type material growth is created by depositing two hard mask materials over a starting substrate wafer, selectively depositing photo resist over a plurality N-type areas, reactive ion etching to remove the second hard mask layer material over areas not covered by photo resist to create gaps in second hard mask layer, and removing the photo resist to expose the second hard mask material in the N-type areas.
