Abstract

A method for fabricating a fin field effect transistor (FinFET) comprising the following steps is provided. A substrate comprising a plurality of trenches and a plurality of semiconductor fins between the trenches is provided. A plurality of insulators are formed in the trenches. A fin cut process is performed to remove portions of the semiconductor fins until a plurality of concaves are formed between the insulators. A gate stack is formed to partially cover the semiconductor fins and the insulators.
