    Abstract: Disclosed are etchstop regions in fins of semiconductor devices, and related methods. A semiconductor device includes a buried region, a fin on the buried region, and a gate formed at least partially around the fin. At least a portion of the fin that borders the buried region includes an etchstop material. The etchstop material includes a doped semiconductor material that has a slower etch rate than that of an intrinsic form of the semiconductor material. A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a gate on a fin, implanting part of the fin with dopants configured to decrease an etch rate of the part of the fin, removing at least part of the fin, and forming an epitaxial semiconductor material on a remaining proximal portion of the fin.
