Abstract:
A method for forming FinFETs comprises forming a plurality of first fins and a plurality of second fins over a substrate and embedded in isolation regions, depositing a first photoresist layer over the substrate, removing the first photoresist layer over an n-type region, applying a first ion implantation process to the first isolation regions, wherein dopants with a first polarity type are implanted in the first isolation regions, depositing a second photoresist layer over the substrate, removing the second photoresist layer over a p-type region, applying a second ion implantation process to the second isolation regions, wherein dopants with a second polarity type are implanted in the second isolation regions, applying an annealing process to the isolation regions and recessing the first isolation regions and the second isolation regions through an etching process.

Claim (Index 8):
A semiconductor device comprising:\n a plurality of isolation regions in a substrate: a first fin surrounded by a first isolation region; and a second fin surrounded by a second isolation region; a first ion implantation region within the first isolation region, the first ion implantation region comprising dopants with a first polarity type; a second ion implantation region within the second isolation region, wherein the second ion implantation region comprises dopants with a second polarity type; a step within a top surface of one of the plurality of isolation regions between the first fin and the second fin, wherein a first portion of the first fin extends from a top surface of the first isolation region to a top surface of the first fin, and a first portion of the second fin is over a top surface of the second isolation region, and wherein a height of the first portion of the first fin is greater than a height of the first portion of the second fin, the first fin being in an n-type region and the second fin being in a p-type region, the first ion implantation region being on a first side of the step and the second ion implantation region being located on a second side of the step opposite the first side.
