    Abstract: A method of forming a fin field effect transistor on a semiconductor substrate includes forming an active region in the substrate, forming an epitaxial layer on the active region, and removing a portion of the epitaxial layer to form a vertical fin on the active region. The fin has a width that is narrower than a width of the active region. Removing a portion of the epitaxial layer may include oxidizing a surface of the epitaxial layer and then removing the oxidized surface of the epitaxial layer to decrease the width of the fin. The epitaxial layer may be doped in situ before removing a portion of the epitaxial layer. The method further includes forming a conductive layer on a top surface and on sidewalls of the fin. Related transistors are also discussed.

    Abstract: A fin field effect transistor (FinFET) includes a first gate and a second gate. The first gate has a vertical part that is defined by sidewalls of a silicon fin and sidewalls of a capping pattern disposed on the silicon fin and a horizontal part horizontally extends from the vertical part. The second gate is made of a low-resistivity material and is in direct contact with the horizontal part of the first gate. A channel may be controlled due to the first gate, and a device operating speed may be enhanced due to the second gate. Related fabrication methods also are described.

    Abstract: Methods for fabricating Fin-Field Effect Transistors (Fin-FETs) are provided. A fin is formed on an integrated circuit substrate. The fin defines a trench on the integrated circuit substrate. A first insulation layer is formed in the trench such that a surface of the first insulation layer is recessed beneath a surface of the fin exposing sidewalls of the fin. A protection layer is formed on the first insulation layer and a second insulation layer is formed on the protection layer in the trench such that protection layer is between the second insulation layer and the sidewalls of the fin. Related Fin-FETs are also provided.
