Abstract
The present disclosure describes a semiconductor device having fin structures with optimized fin pitches for substantially uniform S/D structures. The semiconductor device includes multiple fin structures on a substrate. The multiple fin structures have a first pitch and a second pitch in an alternate configuration and the second pitch is different from the first pitch. The semiconductor device further includes a gate structure on the multiple fin structures and a source/drain (S/D) structure adjacent to the gate structure and in contact with the multiple fin structures.
