Abstract:
A method includes oxidizing a semiconductor fin to form an oxide layer on opposite sidewalls of the semiconductor fin. The semiconductor fin is over a top surface of an isolation region. After the oxidizing, a tilt implantation is performed to implant an impurity into the semiconductor fin. The oxide layer is removed after the tilt implantation.

Claim (Index 7):
The device of  claim 1 , wherein the semiconductor strip comprises a fourth sidewall that is substantially straight, with the first sidewall and the fourth sidewall being opposite sidewalls of the semiconductor strip, and the semiconductor fin comprises a fifth sidewall that is substantially straight, with the second sidewall and the fifth sidewall being opposite sidewalls of the semiconductor fin, and the fourth sidewall and the fifth sidewall are in a fourth plane and a fifth plane, respectively, and wherein the second sidewall and the fifth sidewall are between the first plane and the fourth plane.
