Abstract

A fin type transistor includes a dielectric layer on a substrate surface which serves to isolate the gate of the transistor from the substrate. The dielectric layer includes a non-selectively etched surface to produce top portions of fin structures which have reduce height variations across the wafer. The fin type transistor may also include a counter doped region at least below the S/D regions to reduce parasitic capacitance to improve its performance.
