Abstract

A method of fabricating a fin field effect transistor (FinFET) including forming a first insulation region and a second insulation region and fin there between. The method further includes forming a gate stack over a portion of the fin and over a portion of the first and second insulation regions. The method further includes tapering the top surfaces of the first and second insulation regions not covered by the gate stack.
