    Abstract: One illustrative method disclosed herein involves performing a first etching process through a patterned hard mask layer to define a plurality of spaced-apart trenches in a substrate that defines a first portion of a fin for the device, forming a layer of insulating material in the trenches and performing a planarization process on the layer of insulating material to expose the patterned hard, performing a second etching process to remove the hard mask layer and to define a cavity within the layer of insulating material, forming a second portion of the fin within the cavity, wherein the second portion of the fin is comprised of a semiconducting material that is different than the substrate, and performing a third etching process on the layer of insulating material such that an upper surface of the insulating material is below an upper surface of the second portion of the fin.
