Abstract

A method for forming a hybrid complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) device includes orienting a semiconductor layer of a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) substrate with a base substrate of the SOI, exposing the base substrate in an N-well region by etching through a mask layer, a dielectric layer, the semiconductor layer and a buried dielectric to form a trench and forming spacers on sidewalls of the trench. The base substrate is epitaxially grown from a bottom of the trench to form an extended region. A fin material is epitaxially grown from the extended region within the trench. The mask layer and the dielectric layer are restored over the trench. P-type field-effect transistor (PFET) fins are etched on the base substrate, and N-type field-effect transistor (NFET) fins are etched in the semiconductor layer.
