Abstract

A semiconductor device a first epitaxially grown source/drain region comprising a first material arranged on a first fin, a second epitaxially grown source/drain region comprising the first material arranged on the second fin, the second epitaxially grown source/drain region arranged above the first epitaxially grown source/drain region, a third epitaxially grown source/drain region comprising the first material arranged on a second fin, a fourth epitaxially grown source/drain region comprising a second material arranged on the second fin, the fourth epitaxially grown source/drain region arranged above the third epitaxially grown source/drain region, and a gate stack arranged over a channel region of the first fin and a channel region of the second fin.

Claims (18)

1. A semiconductor device comprising:

a first epitaxially grown source/drain region comprising a first material arranged on a first fin;

a second epitaxially grown source/drain region comprising the first material arranged on the first fin, the second epitaxially grown source/drain region arranged above the first epitaxially grown source/drain region;

a third epitaxially grown source/drain region comprising the first material arranged on a second fin;

a fourth epitaxially grown source/drain region comprising a second material arranged on the second fin, the fourth epitaxially grown source/drain region arranged above the third epitaxially grown source/drain region; and

a gate stack arranged over a channel region of the first fin and a channel region of the second fin.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the first material includes n-type dopants and the second material includes p-type dopants.

3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the first fin includes:

a first semiconductor region;

an insulator region arranged on the first semiconductor region; and

a second semiconductor region arranged on the insulator region.

4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the second fin includes:

a first semiconductor region;

an insulator region arranged on the first semiconductor region; and

a second semiconductor region arranged on the insulator region.

5. The device of claim 3 , wherein the first epitaxially grown source/drain region is arranged on the first semiconductor region of the first fin and the second epitaxially grown source/drain region is arranged on the second semiconductor region of the first fin.

6. The device of claim 4 , wherein the third epitaxially grown source/drain region is arranged on the first semiconductor region of the second fin and the fourth epitaxially grown source/drain region is arranged on the second semiconductor region of the second fin.

7. The device of claim 1 wherein the first material is dissimilar from second material.
