US Patent 12074071 Source/drain structures and method of forming

A semiconductor device includes a first device region and a second device region. The first device region includes a first source/drain region extending from a substrate and a first and a second pair of spacers. The first source/drain region extends between the first pair of spacers and the second pair of spacers. The first pair of spacers and the second pair of spacers have a first height. The second device region includes a second and a third source/drain region extending from the substrate and a third and a fourth pair of spacers. The third source/drain region is separate from the second source/drain region. The second source/drain region extends between the third pair of spacers. The third source/drain region extends between the fourth pair of spacers. The third pair of spacers and the fourth pair of spacers have a second height greater than the first height.
