A method of forming a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) device includes forming an oxide layer on sidewalls and a top surface of a patterned gate conductor, and on sidewalls of a gate insulating layer formed on a semiconductor substrate; forming a first carbon-based layer over the gate conductor, gate insulating layer, and substrate; etching the first carbon-based layer so as to create a first set of carbon spacers; forming a second carbon-based layer over the gate conductor, gate insulating layer, substrate, and first set of carbon spacers; etching the second carbon-based layer so as to create a second set of carbon spacers; forming silicide contacts on the gate conductor, and on source and drain regions formed in the substrate; removing the first and second sets of carbon spacers; and forming a stress-inducing nitride layer over the substrate, silicide contacts, gate conductor, and gate insulating layer.
