Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a substrate having first, second and third fins longitudinally aligned in a first direction. A first trench extends between the first and second fins, and a second trench extends between the second and third fins. A first portion of field insulating material is disposed in the first trench, and a second portion of field insulating material is disposed in the second trench. An upper surface of the second portion of the field insulating material is recessed in the second trench at a level below uppermost surfaces of the second and third fins. A first dummy gate is disposed on an upper surface of the first portion of the field insulating material, and a second dummy gate at least partially extends into the second trench to the upper surface of the second portion of the field insulating material.
