Abstract
A method includes forming a first fin protruding above a substrate, the first fin having a PMOS region; forming a first gate structure over the first fin in the PMOS region; forming a first spacer layer over the first fin and the first gate structure; and forming a second spacer layer over the first spacer layer. The method further includes performing a first etching process to remove the second spacer layer from a top surface and sidewalls of the first fin in the PMOS region; performing a second etching process to remove the first spacer layer from the top surface and the sidewalls of the first fin in the PMOS region; and epitaxially growing a first source/drain material over the first fin in the PMOS region, the first source/drain material extending along the top surface and the sidewalls of the first fin in the PMOS region.
