Abstract:
Techniques for forming an odd number of fins by SIT are provided. In one aspect, a method of forming an odd number of fins by SIT includes the steps of: forming a pad layer on a substrate; forming at least one mandrel on the pad layer; forming a first pair of spacers on opposite sides of the mandrel; forming a second pair of spacers on a side of the first pair of spacers opposite the mandrel; removing the first pair of spacers selective to the mandrel and the second pair of spacers; and patterning the odd number of fins in the substrate using a combination of the mandrel and the second pair of spacers as fin masks. A method of forming a finFET device and a fin device structure are also provided.

Claim (Index 15):
The finFET device of  claim 14 , wherein the fins are patterned in an SOI layer of the SOI wafer.
