Abstract:
A method of forming a semiconductor device. The method may include providing a device structure, where the device structure comprises a masked portion and a cut portion. The masked portion may comprise a mask covering at least one semiconductor fin of a fin array, and the cut portion may comprise a trench, where the trench exposes a semiconductor fin region of the fin array. The method may further include providing an exposure of the trench to oxidizing ions, the oxidizing ions to transform a semiconductor material into an oxide.

Claim (Index 6):
The method of  claim 5 , wherein a first portion of the semiconductor fin is oxidized during the exposure, and wherein a second portion of the semiconductor fin remains unoxidized.
