    Abstract: One method includes performing an etching process through a patterned mask layer to form trenches in a substrate that defines first and second fins, forming liner material adjacent the first fin to a first thickness, forming liner material adjacent the second fin to a second thickness different from the first thickness, forming insulating material in the trenches adjacent the liner materials and above the mask layer, performing a process operation to remove portions of the layer of insulating material and to expose portions of the liner materials, performing another etching process to remove portions of the liner materials and the mask layer to expose the first fin to a first height and the second fin to a second height different from the first height, performing another etching process to define a reduced-thickness layer of insulating material, and forming a gate structure around a portion of the first and second fin.

    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.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present invention relate to an approach for forming an integrated circuit having a set of fins on a silicon substrate, with the set of fins being formed according to a predetermined pattern. In situ doping of the fins with an N-type dopant prior to deposition of an epitaxial layer minimizes punch through leakage whilst an epitaxial depositional process applies a cladding layer on the doped fins, the deposition resulting in a multigate device having improved device isolation.

    Abstract: A dielectric metal compound liner can be deposited on a semiconductor fin prior to formation of a disposable gate structure. The dielectric metal compound liner protects the semiconductor fin during the pattering of the disposable gate structure and a gate spacer. The dielectric metal compound liner can be removed prior to formation of source and drain regions and a replacement gate structure. Alternately, a dielectric metal compound liner can be deposited on a semiconductor fin and a gate stack, and can be removed after formation of a gate spacer. Further, a dielectric metal compound liner can be deposited on a semiconductor fin and a disposable gate structure, and can be removed after formation of a gate spacer and removal of the disposable gate structure. The dielectric metal compound liner can protect the semiconductor fin during formation of the gate spacer in each embodiment.
