Abstract

A semiconductor device structure is provided. The semiconductor device structure includes a substrate having adjacent first and second fins protruding from the substrate, an isolation feature between and adjacent to the first fin and the second fin, and a fin isolation structure between the first fin and the second fin. The fin isolation structure includes a first insulating layer partially embedded in the isolation feature, a second insulating layer having sidewall surfaces and a bottom surface that are covered by the first insulating layer, a first capping layer covering the second insulating layer and having sidewall surfaces that are covered by the first insulating layer, and a second capping layer having sidewall surfaces and a bottom surface that are covered by the first capping layer.
