A semiconductor fabrication method comprises providing a structure which includes a semiconductor substrate having a plurality of subsurface layers, the substrate comprising a top surface and the subsurface layers comprising a top subsurface layer below the top surface of the substrate. A protective material is patterned on the top surface of the device and a material removal process is performed to simultaneously form a contact trench and an isolation trench, the material removal process removing at least a portion of the top surface and the top subsurface layer such that the contact trench and the isolation trench are formed within the subsurface layer. An insulator is then formed within the isolation trench and the contact trench is lined with the insulator. The contact trench is then filled with a conductive material such that the conductive material is deposited over the insulator.

摘要:
The present invention provides a FinFET device that has a first fin and a second fin. Each fin has a channel region and source and drain regions that extend from the channel region. The fins have different heights. The invention has a gate conductor positioned adjacent the fins. The gate conductor runs perpendicular to the fins and crosses the channel region of each of the first fin and second fin. The fins are parallel to one another. The ratio of the height of the first fin to the height of the second fin comprises a ratio of one to 2/3. The ratio is used to tune the performance of the transistor and determines the total channel width of the transistor.
