Abstract

One illustrative method disclosed herein includes, among other things, forming a first plurality of fins for a type 1 device and a second plurality of fins for a type 2 device, forming a first counter-doped sidewall spacer structure adjacent the first fins, forming a second counter-doped sidewall spacer structure adjacent the second fins and a counter-doped material structure in a space between the first fins, forming a recessed layer of flowable oxide on the devices such that portions of the first and second counter-doped sidewall spacers are exposed above the flowable oxide layer, and performing a common etching process operation to remove at least a portion of the exposed portions of the first and second counter-doped sidewall spacer structures.
