Abstract
A method of forming a semiconductor device includes etching trenches in a substrate to form fin structures, depositing a liner layer to line the trenches, filling the trenches with an insulating layer, performing an ion implantation process to the insulating layer, after performing the ion implantation process, recessing the insulating layer to form shallow trench isolation (STI) regions adjacent the fin structures, and forming a gate crossing the fin structures.
