Abstract:
A method of forming a semiconductor device includes etching a substrate to form two first trenches separated by a fin; filling the two first trenches with an isolation layer; and depositing a dielectric layer over the fin and the isolation layer. The method further includes forming a second trench in the dielectric layer over a channel region of the semiconductor device, the second trench exposing the isolation layer. The method further includes etching the isolation layer through the second trench to expose an upper portion of the fin in the channel region of the semiconductor device, and forming a dummy gate in the second trench over the isolation layer and engaging the upper portion of the fin.

Claim (Index 6):
The device of  claim 1 , wherein the dielectric isolation layer includes a segment that extends continuously from the first fin structure to the second fin structure, wherein the segment includes a first portion having the second height, a second portion having the third height and a third portion having a fifth height, the third portion disposed between the first portion and the second portion, the fifth height being different than the second height and third height.
