ABSTRACT:
The height of epitaxially grown semiconductor regions in extremely scaled semiconductor devices may be adjusted individually for different device regions in that two or more epitaxial growth steps may be carried out, wherein an epitaxial growth mask selectively suppresses the formation of a semiconductor region in a specified device region. In other embodiments, a common epitaxial growth process may be used for two or more different device regions and subsequently a selective oxidation process may be performed on selected device regions so as to precisely reduce the height of the previously epitaxially grown semiconductor regions in the selected areas.
