The invention relates to a FinFET device and a method for fabricating the same. The device has a silicon substrate, an oxide layer, and a polysilicone gate. The silicon substrate defines a planar body, a medial body, and a fin. The planar body, the medial body, and the fin are integrally connected. The medial body connects the planar body and the fine. The planar body extends generally around the medial body. The fin is situated to extend substantially from a first side of the substrate to an opposing second side of the substrate. The fin is substantially perpendicularly disposed with respect to the planar body. The first oxide layer is situated on the planar body between the planar body and the fine. The oxide layer extends substantially around the medial body. The polysilicone gate is situated on the oxide layer to extend substantially from a third side to an opposing fourth side of the substrate. The gate is situated to extend across the fin proximal to a medial portion of an upper surface of the fine. There is also a process for making a FinFET device.
