Abstract:
A method includes forming a patterned etching mask, which includes a plurality of strips, and etching a semiconductor substrate underlying the patterned etching mask to form a first plurality of semiconductor fins and a second plurality of semiconductor fins. The patterned etching mask is used as an etching mask in the etching. The method further includes etching the second plurality of semiconductor fins without etching the first plurality of semiconductor fins. An isolation region is then formed, and the first plurality of semiconductor fins has top portions protruding higher than a top surface of the isolation region.

Claim (Index 19):
The device of  claim 14 , wherein the second fin structure includes a first fin adjacent one side of the first fin structure and a second fin adjacent an opposite side of the first fin structure.
