Abstract
An integrated circuit device includes a semiconductor substrate, and a semiconductor strip extending into the semiconductor substrate. A first and a second dielectric region are on opposite sides of, and in contact with, the semiconductor strip. Each of the first dielectric region and the second dielectric region includes a first portion level with the semiconductor strip, and a second portion lower than the semiconductor strip. The second portion further includes a portion overlapped by the semiconductor strip.
