Abstract
A method (of manufacturing fins for a semiconductor device) includes: forming semiconductor fins including ones thereof having a first cap with a first etch sensitivity (first capped fins) and second ones thereof having a second cap with a second etch sensitivity (second capped fins), the first and second etch sensitivities being different; and eliminating selected ones of the first capped fins and selected ones of the second capped fins.

A method of manufacturing fins for a semiconductor device, the method comprising:
- forming semiconductor fins including ones thereof having a first cap with a first etch sensitivity (first capped fins) and second ones thereof having a second cap with a second etch sensitivity (second capped fins), the first and second etch sensitivities being different;
- and
- eliminating selected ones of the first capped fins and selected ones of the second capped fins.
A method of manufacturing fins for a semiconductor device, the method comprising:
- forming semiconductor fins including ones thereof having a first cap with a first etch sensitivity (first capped fins) and second ones thereof having a second cap with a second etch sensitivity (second capped fins), the first and second etch sensitivities being different;
- removing second caps and first caps correspondingly of selected ones of the second capped fins and the first capped fins;
- resulting in second and first uncapped fins;
- and
- removing the first and second uncapped fins.
A method of manufacturing fins for a semiconductor device, the method comprising:
- forming semiconductor fins including ones thereof having a first cap with a first etch sensitivity (first capped fins) and second ones thereof having a second cap with a second etch sensitivity (second capped fins), the first and second etch sensitivities being different;
- forming first masks over unselected second capped fins so as to leave selected second capped fins exposed;
- etching with an etchant appropriate for the second etch resulting in second uncapped fins;
- removing the first mask;
- forming second masks over unselected ones of the first capped fins so as to leave selected first capped fins exposed;
- etching with an etchant appropriate for the first etch sensitivity resulting in first uncapped fins;
- and
- removing the second masks;
- and
- removing the first and second uncapped fins.
