Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method for fabricating a fin-like field-effect transistor (FinFET). The method includes forming a first fin structures over a substrate, forming a patterned oxidation-hard-mask (OHM) over the substrate to expose the first fin structure in a first gate region of a n-type FET region, forming a semiconductor oxide feature in a middle portion of the first fin structure in the first gate region, forming a second fin structure in a PFET region, forming dummy gates, forming source/drain (S/D) features, replacing the dummy gates by a first high-k/metal gate (HK/MG) in the NFET region and a second HK/MG in the PFET region.
