Abstract:
A method of forming a fin field effect transistor (finFET) on a substrate includes forming a fin structure on the substrate and forming a shallow trench isolation (STI) region on the substrate. First and second fin portions of the fin structure extend above a top surface of the STI region. The method further includes oxidizing the first fin portion to convert a first material of the first fin portion to a second material. The second material is different from the first material of the first fin portion and a material of the second fin portion. The method further includes forming an oxide layer on the oxidized first fin portion and the second fin portion and forming first and second polysilicon structures on the oxide layer.

Claim (Index 11):
A semiconductor structure, comprising:\n a substrate; a shallow trench isolation (STI) region on the substrate; a first fin on the substrate, wherein an upper portion of the first fin protrudes from a top surface of the STI region and comprises a first vertical dimension; a second fin on the substrate and adjacent to the first fin, wherein:\n an upper portion of the second fin protrudes from the top surface of the STI region; \n the upper portion of the second fin comprises a second vertical dimension less than the first vertical dimension; and \n the upper portion of the second fin comprises a horizontal dimension that varies along a vertical direction; and \n a gate structure formed on the upper portions of the first and second fins.
