Abstract:
A multiple-fin device includes a substrate and a plurality of fins formed on the substrate. Source and drain regions are formed in the respective fins. A dielectric layer is formed on the substrate. The dielectric layer has a first thickness adjacent one side of a first fin and having a second thickness, different from the first thickness, adjacent an opposite side of the fin. A continuous gate structure is formed overlying the plurality of fins, the continuous gate structure being adjacent a top surface of each fin and at least one sidewall surface of at least one fin. By adjusting the dielectric layer thickness, channel width of the resulting device can be fine-tuned.

Claim (Index 1):
A device comprising:\n a substrate; a first isolation region over the substrate, the first isolation region having a first thickness; a second isolation region over the substrate, the second isolation region having a second thickness, the first thickness being greater than the second thickness; a first fin extending between the first isolation region and the second isolation region, a first sidewall of the first fin being in physical contact with the first isolation region, a second sidewall of the first fin being in physical contact with the second isolation region, the first sidewall of the first fin being opposite the second sidewall of the first fin, a topmost surface of the first fin being substantially level with a topmost surface of the first isolation region, the topmost surface of the first fin being above a topmost surface of the second isolation region; a second fin adjacent the second isolation region, a first sidewall of the second fin being in physical contact with the second isolation region, a topmost surface of the second fin being above the topmost surface of the second isolation region; and a continuous gate structure over the first fin and the second fin, the continuous gate structure being in physical contact with the topmost surface and the second sidewall of the first fin, and the topmost surface, the first sidewall and a second sidewall of the second fin, the second sidewall of the second fin being opposite the first sidewall of the second fin.
