  • Patent number: 9922979
    Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) device includes a fin-type active region formed in a substrate, a step insulation layer on at least one sidewall of the fin-type active region, and a first high-level isolation layer on the at least one sidewall of the fin-type active region. The fin-type active region protrudes from the substrate and extending in a first direction parallel to a main surface of the substrate, includes a channel region having a first conductivity type, and includes the stepped portion. The step insulation layer contacts the stepped portion of the fin-type active region. The step insulation layer is between the first high-level isolation layer and the at least one sidewall of the fin-type active region. The first high-level isolation layer extends in a second direction that is different from the first direction.

  • Patent number: 9627542
    Abstract: Semiconductor devices may include a semiconductor substrate with a first semiconductor fin aligned end-to-end with a second semiconductor with a recess between facing ends of the first and second semiconductor fins. A first insulator pattern is formed adjacent sidewalls of the first and second semiconductor fins and a second insulator pattern is formed within the first recess. The second insulator pattern may have a top surface higher than a top surface of the first insulator pattern, such as to the height of the top surface of the fins (or higher or lower). First and second gates extend along sidewalls and a top surface of the first semiconductor fin. A dummy gate electrode may be formed on the top surface of the second insulator. Methods for manufacture of the same and modifications are also disclosed.
