Abstract:
A method of forming a semiconductor device includes etching a substrate to form two first trenches separated by a fin; filling the two first trenches with an isolation layer; and depositing a dielectric layer over the fin and the isolation layer. The method further includes forming a second trench in the dielectric layer over a channel region of the semiconductor device, the second trench exposing the isolation layer. The method further includes etching the isolation layer through the second trench to expose an upper portion of the fin in the channel region of the semiconductor device, and forming a dummy gate in the second trench over the isolation layer and engaging the upper portion of the fin.

Claim (Index 15):
A device comprising:\n an isolation layer disposed over a substrate; a first fin structure and a second fin structure at least partially embedded within the isolation layer, the first fin structure having a first height and the isolation layer on a first side of the first fin structure having a second height that is greater than the first height, the second fin structure having the first height and the isolation layer on a second side of the second fin structure having a third height that is less than the first height; a first source/drain feature disposed on the first fin structure and associated with a first transistor of a first type of conductivity, the first source/drain feature interfacing with the isolation layer; and a second source/drain feature disposed on the second fin structure without interfacing with the isolation layer, the second source/drain feature associated with a second transistor of a second type of conductivity, the second type being opposite the first type.
