1. A method for making a semiconductor device, comprising:
providing a semiconductor structure comprising a first gate electrode disposed in a first region and a second gate electrode disposed in a second region;
forming a first set of organic spacers adjacent to said first electrode through a process which includes (a) depositing a first layer comprising a first organic material having a first average thickness, and (b) etching the first layer with a first etch;
depositing a first photo mask over the structure such that at least a portion of the first region is exposed and at least a portion of the second region is covered;
subjecting the first region to a first implantation process;
concurrently removing the first set of organic spacers and the first photo mask;
forming a second set of organic spacers adjacent to said second electrode through a process which includes (a) depositing a second layer comprising a second organic material having a second average thickness, and (b) etching the second layer with a second etch;
depositing a second photo mask over the structure such that at least a portion of the second region is exposed and at least a portion of the first region is covered;
subjecting the second region to a second implantation process; and
concurrently removing the second set of organic spacers and the second photo mask.
