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 8):
A method for fabricating a fin field-effect transistor (FinFET) device, the method comprising:\n providing a semiconductor substrate, forming dummy fins and active fins on the semiconductor substrate, forming a gate structure on at least one of the active fins; and after forming the gate structure on the at least one active fin, etching the dummy fins to reduce a height of each of the dummy fins.
