Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming an isolation region on a semiconductor substrate. A trench is formed in an <xyz> crystallographic direction of the semiconductor substrate in the isolation region. An epitaxial layer is grown in the trench. The epitaxial layer is patterned to form a semiconductor fin orientated along an <x′y′z′> crystallographic direction of the semiconductor substrate, wherein <x′y′z′>≠<xyz>.

Claim (Index 2):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein forming the trench in <xyz> crystallographic direction in the isolation region comprises:\n forming a semiconductor pillar on the semiconductor substrate, wherein the semiconductor pillar is orientated along the <xyz> crystallographic direction; \n depositing an isolation layer on the semiconductor substrate and around the semiconductor pillar to form the isolation region; and \n removing the semiconductor pillar to form the trench.
