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 15):
A semiconductor device comprising:\n a plurality of first fins and a plurality of second fins over a substrate and embedded in isolation regions, wherein:\n the first fins are in an n-type region over the substrate and surrounded by first isolation regions; and \n the second fins are in a p-type region over the substrate and surrounded by second isolation regions; \n a first ion implantation region within the first isolation regions, wherein dopants with a first polarity type are located in the first ion implantation region; a second ion implantation region within the second isolation regions, wherein dopants with a second polarity type are located within the second ion implantation region, wherein an interface is located between the first ion implantation region and the second ion implantation region; a step on a top surface of an isolation region between the n-type region and the p-type region, wherein the step is located directly over the interface and wherein the first fins extend away from the first isolation regions further than the second fins extend away from the second isolation regions.
