  • Patent number: 11937415
    Abstract: A method of forming a semiconductor device includes providing a substrate including a circuit region and a well strap region, forming a mandrel extending from the circuit region to the well strap region, depositing mandrel spacers on sidewalls of the mandrel, removing the mandrel in the circuit region, while the mandrel in the well strap region remains intact, patterning the substrate with the mandrel spacers in the circuit region and the mandrel in the well strap region as an etch mask, thereby forming at least a first fin in the circuit region and a second fin in the well strap region, and epitaxially growing a first epitaxial feature over the first fin in the circuit region and a second epitaxial feature over the second fin in the well strap region. A width of the second fin is larger than a width of the first fin.
