Abstract

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, by etching a region of an SOI substrate so that only a portion of the original semiconductor is present above the insulator layer. After etching has occurred, a different semiconductor material is grown in the etched region, and fins are formed. An isolation layer is deposited to a height above that the base semiconductor of the etched region.
