Abstract:
High-mobility semiconductor fins are formed on an insulator layer using techniques allowing precise control of fin heights. Lattice-matched fins are grown epitaxially on sidewalls of an essentially defect-free portion of a semiconductor template. The fins are formed within laterally extending trenches in a top dielectric layer, the thickness of which determines fin height. The trenches extend orthogonally to the template. Epitaxial overgrowth above the top dielectric layer is removed by planarization. The fin template and top dielectric layer are removed, leaving sets of parallel fins on the insulator layer. The fin template can be replaced by an isolation region for electrically isolating sets of fins.

Claim (Index 13):
The method of  claim 9 , wherein each of the semiconductor fins includes an inner end portion adjoining the semiconductor pillar, an outer end portion, and a body portion between the inner end portion and the outer end portion, further including:\n providing a patterned mask over the semiconductor fins, the patterned mask including a first opening exposing a first set of outer end portions of the semiconductor fins on a first side of the semiconductor pillar, a second opening exposing a second set of outer end portions of the semiconductor fins on a second side of the semiconductor pillar, and a third opening exposing the inner end portions of the semiconductor fins and the semiconductor pillar, and directionally etching the first set of outer end portions of the semiconductor fins on the first side of the semiconductor pillar, the second set of outer end portions of the semiconductor fins on the second side of the semiconductor pillar, and the inner end portions of the semiconductor fins down to the first dielectric layer.
