Abstract:
A method including forming hard mask patterns on a substrate; forming etch stop patterns surrounding the hard mask patterns; forming spacer patterns covering sidewalls of the etch stop patterns; removing the etch stop patterns; etching the substrate to form active and dummy fins; forming a block mask pattern layer surrounding the active and dummy fins and forming mask etch patterns on a top surface of the block mask pattern layer; etching the block mask pattern layer to form block mask patterns surrounding the active fins; etching the dummy fins; removing the block mask patterns surrounding the active fins; and depositing a device isolation film on the substrate such that the device isolation film is not in contact with the upper portions of the active fins, wherein a spacing distance between the active fin and the dummy fin is greater than an active fin spacing distance between the active fins.

Claim (Index 15):
A semiconductor device, comprising:\n a substrate; a plurality of active fin units disposed to have a predetermined height on a top surface of the substrate and including at least two active fins spaced an active fin spacing distance from each other; dummy fins disposed on both sides of the active fin units on the top surface of the substrate to have a smaller height than the active fins, and spaced apart from outer sidewalls of the active fins disposed at outermost sides of the active fin units by a spacing distance greater than the active fin spacing distance; and a device isolation film disposed on the substrate to have a height such that upper portions of the active fins are not in contact therewith but the entire dummy fins are in contact therewith.
