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 18):
The method of  claim 17 , wherein the semiconductor fin comprises a (100) surface, a (110) surface, and a (111) surface, wherein the first element is attached to the (100) surface to terminate dangling bonds, the second element is attached to the (110) surface to terminate dangling bonds, and the third element is attached to the (111) surface to terminate dangling bonds.
