Abstract:
A method includes forming a crown structure over a substrate; forming fins in the crown structure; forming an intra-device isolation region between the fins and forming inter-device isolation regions on opposing sides of the crown structure; forming a gate structure over the fins; forming a dielectric layer that extends continuously over the inter-device isolation regions, the fins and the intra-device isolation region; performing an etching process to reduce a thickness of the dielectric layer, where after the etching process, upper surfaces of the inter-device isolation regions and upper surfaces of the fins are exposed while an upper surface of the intra-device isolation region is covered by a remaining portion of the dielectric layer; and forming an epitaxial structure over the exposed upper surfaces of the fins, where after the epitaxial structure is formed, there is a void between the epitaxial structure and the intra-device isolation region.
