Abstract

A FinFET including a substrate, a plurality of insulators and a gate stack is provided. The substrate includes a plurality of trenches and at least one semiconductor fin between the trenches. The insulators are disposed in the trenches. The semiconductor fin includes a first portion embedded between the insulators; a necking portion disposed on the first portion, the necking portion being uncovered by the insulators; and a second portion disposed on the necking portion, wherein a width of the necking portion is less than a width of the first portion. The gate stack partially covers the semiconductor fin, the at least one recess and the insulators.
