A method of forming a punch through stop region that includes forming isolation regions of a first dielectric material between adjacent fin structures and forming a spacer of a second dielectric material on sidewalls of the fin structure. The first dielectric material of the isolation region may be recessed with an etch process that is selective to the second dielectric material to expose a base sidewall portion of the fin structures. Gas phase doping may introduce a first conductivity type dopant to the base sidewall portion of the fin structure forming a punch through stop region underlying a channel region of the fin structures.
