Abstract:
First and second fin-type field effect transistors (finFETs) are formed laterally adjacent one another extending from a top surface of an isolation layer. The first finFET has a first fin structure and the second finFET has a second fin structure. An insulator layer is on the first fin structure and the second fin structure. A gate conductor intersects the first fin structure and the second fin structure, and at least the insulator layer separates the gate conductor from the first fin structure and the second fin structure. Source and drain structures are on the first fin structure and the second fin structure laterally adjacent the gate conductor. The first fin structure has sidewalls that include a step and the second fin structure has sidewalls that do not include the step. The step is approximately parallel to the surface of the isolation layer.

Claim (Index 7):
An integrated circuit device comprising:\n a first fin-type field effect transistor (finFET) and a second finFET laterally adjacent one another extending from a surface of an isolation layer, wherein the first finFET has a first fin structure and the second finFET has a second fin structure; an insulator layer on the first fin structure and the second fin structure; a gate conductor intersecting the first fin structure and the second fin structure, wherein at least the insulator layer separates the gate conductor from the first fin structure and the second fin structure; a work function metal layer between the gate conductor and the insulator layer; and source and drain structures on the first fin structure and the second fin structure laterally adjacent the gate conductor, wherein the first fin structure has sidewalls that include a step and the second fin structure has sidewalls that do not include the step, and wherein the step is approximately parallel to the surface of the isolation layer.
