Abstract
A FinFET device structure and method for forming the same is provided. The FinFET device structure includes an oxide layer formed over a substrate and a fin structure formed over the oxide layer. The fin structure is made of a semiconductor layer, and the semiconductor layer includes a first portion, a second portion and a third portion. The second portion is between the first portion and the third portion. The first portion, the second portion and the third portion construct a U-shaped trench, and the second portion is below the U-shaped trench. The FinFET device structure further includes a gate structure formed in the U-shaped trench.
