A semiconductor device is made by steps of removing portions of a first capping layer, removing portions of a sacrificial layer, recessing sidewalls, and forming fin structures. The step of removing portions of the first capping layer forms a first capping structure that covers portions of the sacrificial layer. The step of removing portions of the sacrificial layer removes portions of the sacrificial layer that are not covered by the first capping structure to define an intermediate structure. The step of recessing the sidewalls recesses sidewalls of the intermediate structure relative to edge regions of the first capping structure to form a sacrificial structure having recessed sidewalls. The step of forming fin structures forms fin structures adjacent to the recessed sidewalls.
