Abstract:
A method includes forming a patterned etching mask, which includes a plurality of strips, and etching a semiconductor substrate underlying the patterned etching mask to form a first plurality of semiconductor fins and a second plurality of semiconductor fins. The patterned etching mask is used as an etching mask in the etching. The method further includes etching the second plurality of semiconductor fins without etching the first plurality of semiconductor fins. An isolation region is then formed, and the first plurality of semiconductor fins has top portions protruding higher than a top surface of the isolation region.

Claim (Index 14):
A device comprising:\n a first fin structure extending from a substrate, the first fin structure having a first height; a second fin structure extending from the substrate, the second fin structure having a second height that is different from the first height, wherein the second fin structure is directly adjacent the first fin structure and extends lengthwise parallel to the first fin structure; an isolation structure extending from the first fin structure to the second fin structure and extending over a top surface of the second fin structure, wherein a top portion of the first fin structure extends above the top surface of the isolation structure; and a gate structure disposed over the first fin structure, the gate structure comprising a gate dielectric and a gate electrode over the gate dielectric.
