    Abstract: One illustrative method disclosed herein includes forming a sacrificial gate structure above a fin, wherein the sacrificial gate structure is comprised of a sacrificial gate insulation layer, a layer of insulating material, a sacrificial gate electrode layer and a gate cap layer, forming a sidewall spacer adjacent opposite sides of the sacrificial gate structure, removing the sacrificial gate structure to thereby define a gate cavity that exposes a portion of the fin, and forming a replacement gate structure in the gate cavity. One illustrative device disclosed herein includes a plurality of fin structures that are separated by a trench formed in a substrate, a local isolation material positioned within the trench, a gate structure positioned around portions of the fin structures and above the local isolation material and an etch stop layer positioned between the gate structure and the local isolation material within the trench.

    Abstract: Methods for fabricating FinFET integrated circuits with uniform fin height and ICs fabricated from such methods are provided. A method includes etching a substrate using an etch mask to form fins. A first oxide is formed between the fins. A first etch stop is deposited on the first oxide. A second oxide is formed on the first etch stop. A second etch stop is deposited on the second oxide. A third oxide is deposited overlying the second etch stop. An STI extends from at least a surface of the substrate to at least a surface of the second etch stop overlying the fins to form a first active region and a second active region. The first etch stop overlying the fins is removed. The third oxide is removed to expose the second etch stop. A gate stack is formed overlying a portion of each of the fins.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method of forming semiconductor structure. The method includes forming a set of device features on top of a substrate; forming a first dielectric layer directly on top of the set of device features and on top of the substrate, thereby creating a height profile of the first dielectric layer measured from a top surface of the substrate, the height profile being associated with a pattern of an insulating structure that fully surrounds the set of device features; and forming a second dielectric layer in areas that are defined by the pattern to create the insulating structure. A structure formed by the method is also disclosed.
