Abstract:
A method includes forming a semiconductor fin, performing a first passivation step on a top surface of the semiconductor fin using a first passivation species, and performing a second passivation step on sidewalls of the semiconductor fin using a second passivation species different from the first passivation species. A gate stack is formed on a middle portion of the semiconductor fin. A source or a drain region is formed on a side of the gate stack, wherein the source or drain region and the gate stack form a Fin Field-Effect Transistor (FinFET).

Claim (Index 14):
The method of  claim 10 , wherein the first element comprises sulfur or selenium, and the method further comprises attaching a second element to an additional surface of the semiconductor fin, and the second element is selected from the group consisting of antimony, arsenic, and chlorine.
