Abstract:
In an embodiment, a method for fabricating a FinFET device includes providing a semiconductor substrate, etching the semiconductor substrate to form dummy fins and active fins. The group of dummy fins is etched through a patterned mask layer. An isolation feature is formed on the semiconductor substrate after etching the first group of dummy fins.

Claim (Index 3):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first fin structure has a first height above a surface of the semiconductor substrate before the etching the first fin structure and a second height above the surface of the semiconductor substrate after the etching the first fin structure, wherein the first height is greater than the second height and the second height is greater than 0.
