Abstract

A method of forming a fin structure of a semiconductor device includes providing a substrate, creating a mandrel pattern over the substrate, depositing a first spacer layer over the mandrel pattern, and removing portions of the first spacer layer to form first spacer fins. The method also includes performing a first fin cut process to remove a subset of the first spacer fins, depositing a second spacer layer over the un-removed first spacer fins, and removing portions of the second spacer layer to form second spacer fins. The method further includes forming fin structures, and performing a second fin cut process to remove a subset of the fin structures.
