Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a method, which includes forming a first fin structure and a second fin structure over a substrate, which has a first trench positioned between the first and second fin structures. The method also includes forming a first dielectric layer within the first trench, recessing the first dielectric layer to expose a portion of the first fin structure, forming a first capping layer over the exposed portion of the first fin structure and the recessed first dielectric layer in the first trench, forming a second dielectric layer over the first capping layer in the first trench while the first capping layer covers the exposed portion of the first fin feature and removing the first capping layer from the first fin structure.

Claim (Index 16):
A device comprising:\n a first fin structure in a first region of a substrate, the first fin structure including:\n a first portion of the substrate; \n a first dielectric layer disposed over and in physical contact with the first portion of the substrate; and \n a first semiconductor material layer disposed over and in physical contact with the first dielectric layer; \n a second fin structure in a second region of the substrate, the second fin structure including:\n a second portion of the substrate; \n a second semiconductor material layer disposed over and in physical contact with the second portion of the substrate; and \n a first capping layer wrapping around the second semiconductor material layer; \n a first isolation structure disposed in the substrate adjacent the second fin structure, the first isolation structure including:\n a second dielectric layer; \n a second capping layer disposed over and in physical contact with the second dielectric layer, the second capping layer physically contacting the first capping layer; and \n a third dielectric layer disposed over and in physical contact with the second capping layer.
