Abstract

A field effect transistor (FinFET) device includes a substrate, a fin structure, a shallow trench isolation and a gate structure. The fin structure is formed on a surface of the substrate and includes a base fin structure and an epitaxial fin structure formed on the base fin structure. The shallow trench isolation structure is formed on the surface of the substrate and includes a peripheral zone and a concave zone. The peripheral zone physically contacts with the fin structure. The gate structure is disposed on the epitaxial fin structure perpendicularly. A method of fabricating the aforementioned field effect transistor is also provided.
