Abstract:
A FinFET device and a method of forming the same are provided. A method includes forming a patterned mask stack over a substrate, features of the patterned mask stack protecting the substrate having a uniform width. Unprotected portions of the substrate exposed by the patterned mask stack are removed to form a plurality of recesses in the substrate, unremoved portions of the substrate interposed between adjacent recesses forming a plurality of fins. Portions of the plurality of fins are removed, a width of a first fin of the plurality of fins being less than a width of a second fin of the plurality of fins.

Claim (Index 15):
A structure comprising:\n a base structure; a first semiconductor strip over the base structure, a bottom portion of the first semiconductor strip having a first width, the first semiconductor strip having a first sidewall and a second sidewall, the first sidewall being opposite the second sidewall, a first slope of the first sidewall being different from a second slope of the second sidewall; a second semiconductor strip over the base structure, the second semiconductor strip being adjacent the first semiconductor strip, a bottom portion of the second semiconductor strip having a second width; and a third semiconductor strip over the base structure, the third semiconductor strip being interposed between the first semiconductor strip and the second semiconductor strip, a bottom portion of the third semiconductor strip having a third width, the third width being less than the first width and the second width, the third semiconductor strip having a third sidewall and a fourth sidewall, the third sidewall being opposite the fourth sidewall, a third slope of the third sidewall being substantially same as a fourth slope of the fourth sidewall.
