Abstract:
A method for forming a semiconductor structure includes forming a strained silicon germanium layer on top of a substrate. At least one patterned hard mask layer is formed on and in contact with at least a first portion of the strained silicon germanium layer. At least a first exposed portion and a second exposed portion of the strained silicon germanium layer are oxidized. The oxidizing process forms a first oxide region and a second oxide region within the first and second exposed portions, respectively, of the strained silicon germanium.

Claim (Index 9):
The method of  claim 8 , wherein the oxidizing further comprising:\n forming the second oxide region within the second exposed portion of the strained silicon germanium layer between the first patterned hard mask layer and the at least second hardmask layer.
