Abstract

A method of forming a semiconductor device includes etching trenches in a substrate to form semiconductor fins, filling a first one of the trenches with a dielectric fin, forming an insulation material in a second one of the trenches, performing a first recessing process to recess the insulation material and form a gap on a top of the dielectric fin, filling the gap with a dielectric cap, and forming a gate stack across the semiconductor fins and the dielectric fin.
