Abstract

A semiconductor structure and a method for fabricating the semiconductor structure are provided. The method includes providing a substrate. The substrate includes an active region and a blank region disposed adjacent to the active region. The method also includes forming a fin material layer on the substrate. Further, the method includes forming a plurality of fins on the active region, and a plurality of dummy fins on the blank region by etching the fin material layer. A spacing between a fin and an adjacent dummy fin is greater than a spacing between adjacent fins.
