Abstract
Method for fabricating Fin field effect transistors (FinFETs) are disclosed. One of the methods includes the following steps. A first semiconductor fin, a second semiconductor fin and an insulator between the first semiconductor fin and the second semiconductor fin are formed. A first dummy gate, a second dummy gate and an opening between the first and second dummy gates are formed over the insulator, wherein the first dummy gate and the second dummy gate cross over portions of the first semiconductor fin and the second semiconductor fin respectively. A dielectric layer is formed in the opening, wherein the dielectric layer comprises an air gap therein. The first dummy gate and the second dummy gate are replaced with a first gate and a second gate, wherein the first gate and the second gate are electrically insulated by the dielectric layer comprising the air gap therein.
