A method of fabricating a vertical fin field effect transistor with a merged top source/drain, including, forming a source/drain layer at the surface of a substrate, forming a plurality of vertical fins on the source/drain layer; forming protective spacers on each of the plurality of vertical fins, forming a sacrificial plug between two protective spacers, forming a filler layer on the protective spacers not in contact with the sacrificial plug, and selectively removing the sacrificial plug to form an isolation region trench between the two protective spacers. |
