Abstract: A method includes receiving a structure that includes a substrate including a first well region having a first dopant type and a second well region having a second dopant type that is opposite to the first dopant type; and fins extending above the substrate. The method further includes forming a patterned etch mask on the structure, wherein the patterned etch mask provides an opening that is directly above a first fin of the fins, wherein the first fin is directly above the first well region. The method further includes etching the structure through the patterned etch mask, wherein the etching removes the first fin and forms a recess in the substrate that spans from the first well region into the second well region; and forming a dielectric material between remaining portions of the fins and within the recess.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a fin, the fin having an epitaxial portion and a base portion protruding from a substrate. Sidewalls of the base portion are tapered with respect to sidewalls of the epitaxial portion. The method also includes depositing a polymeric material on the sidewalls of the epitaxial portion, performing an etching process to modify a profile of the sidewalls of the base portion, such that the sidewalls of the base portion are laterally recessed with a narrowest width of the base portion located under a top surface of the base portion, removing the polymeric material from the sidewalls of the epitaxial portion, depositing an isolation feature on the sidewalls of the base portion, and forming a gate structure engaging the epitaxial portion.
