Abstract

A method of forming layers, in the same device material, with different thickness or layer height in a semiconductor device comprises forming device material layer or gate electrode layer disposable parts in selected regions of the device layer. The disposable parts can be formed by doping the selected regions to the desired depth d. The as-deposited thickness t of this device layer can be adjusted or modulated after the patterning of the individual devices by removing the disposable parts.
