SEMICONDUCTOR STRUCTURE AND PROCESS

摘要

A semiconductor structure is provided that includes a semiconductor fin portion (14P) having an end wall (15W) and extending upward from a substrate (10). A gate structure (16) straddles a portion of the semiconductor fin portion (14P). A first set of gate spacers (24P/50P) is located on opposing sidewall surfaces of the gate structure (16L/16R); and a second set of gate spacers (32P) is located on sidewalls of the first set of gate spacers (24P/50P). One gate spacer of the second set of spacers (32P) has a lower portion that directly contacts the end wall (15W) of the semiconductor fin portion (14P).
