Abstract: A method includes forming isolation regions extending into a semiconductor substrate. A semiconductor strip is between the isolation regions. The method further includes recessing the isolation regions so that a top portion of the semiconductor strip protrudes higher than top surfaces of the isolation regions to form a semiconductor fin, measuring a fin width of the semiconductor fin, generating an etch recipe based on the fin width, and performing a thinning process on the semiconductor fin using the etching recipe.

Abstract: A method includes depositing a silicon layer over a semiconductor region, forming dielectric isolation regions extending into the silicon layer and the semiconductor region, and recessing the dielectric isolation regions. A first portion of the silicon layer and a second portion of the semiconductor region are between the dielectric isolation regions, and protrude higher than top surfaces of the dielectric isolation regions to form a semiconductor fin. The semiconductor fin is thinned, and after the first semiconductor fin is thinned, the first portion of the silicon layer remains. A gate stack is formed on the semiconductor fin.
