Abstract

A device includes first and second transistors and first and second isolation structures. The first transistor includes an active region including a first channel region, a first source and a first drain in the active region and respectively on opposite sides of the first channel region, and a first gate structure over the first channel region. The first isolation structure surrounds the active region of the first transistor. The second transistor includes a second source and a second drain, a fin structure includes a second channel region between the second source and the second drain, and a second gate structure over the second channel region. The second isolation structure surrounds a bottom portion of the fin structure of the second transistor. The top of the first isolation structure is higher than a top of the second isolation structure.
