Abstract:
A fin structure for a fin field effect transistor (FinFET) device is provided. The device includes a substrate, a first semiconductor material disposed on the substrate, a shallow trench isolation (STI) region disposed over the substrate and formed on opposing sides of the first semiconductor material, and a second semiconductor material forming a first fin and a second fin disposed on the STI region, the first fin spaced apart from the second fin by a width of the first semiconductor material. The fin structure may be used to generate the FinFET device by forming a gate layer formed over the first fin, a top surface of the first semiconductor material disposed between the first and second fins, and the second fin.

Claim (Index 16):
The method of  claim 15 , further comprising forming a mask on an upper surface of the first fin, wherein the mask prevents epitaxial growth on the upper surface of the first fin while epitaxially growing the second fin and the third fin.
