Abstract:
A method of forming a fin structure of a semiconductor device, such as a fin field effect transistor (FinFET) is provided. In an embodiment, trenches are formed in a substrate, and a liner is formed along sidewalls of the trenches, wherein a region between adjacent trenches define a fin. A dielectric material is formed in the trenches. Portions of the semiconductor material of the fin are replaced with a second semiconductor material and a third semiconductor material, the second semiconductor material having a different lattice constant than the substrate and the third semiconductor material having a different lattice constant than the second semiconductor material. Portions of the second semiconductor material are oxidized.

Claim (Index 11):
The FinFET of  claim 8 , wherein the dielectric liner comprises a nitride liner.
