Abstract
An integrated circuit product is disclosed that includes a plurality of trenches in a semiconducting substrate that define first, second and third fins, wherein the fins are side-by-side, and wherein the second fin is positioned between the first and third fins, a layer of insulating material in the plurality of trenches such that a desired height of the first, second and third fins is positioned above an upper surface of the layer of insulating material, a recess defined in the second fin that at least partially defines a cavity in the layer of insulating material, an SDB isolation structure in the cavity on the recessed portion of the second fin, wherein the SDB isolation structure has an upper surface that is above the upper surface of the layer of insulating material, and a gate structure for a transistor positioned above the SDB isolation structure.
