A FinFET includes a semiconductor fin, and a source region and a drain region in the same semiconductor fin. The drain region has a first fin height above a trench isolation; and the source region has a second fin height above the trench isolation. The first fin height is less than the second fin height. The FinFET may be used, for example, in a scaled laterally diffused metal-oxide semiconductor (LDMOS) application, and exhibits reduced parasitic capacitance for improved radio frequency (RF) performance. A drain extension region may have the first fin height, and a channel region may have the second fin height. A method of making the FinFET is also disclosed.
