Abstract:
A method of forming a semiconductor device. The method may include providing a semiconductor device structure. The semiconductor device structure may include a semiconductor fin; and a mask, disposed over the semiconductor fin, the mask defining a plurality of openings, wherein the semiconductor fin is exposed in the plurality of openings. The method may further include directing angled ions into the plurality of openings, wherein a plurality of trenches are formed in the semiconductor fin, wherein a given trench of the plurality of trenches comprises a reentrant profile.

Claim (Index 3):
The method of  claim 1 , comprising directing the angled ions as an ion beam having a shape of a ribbon beam to the substrate, the ion beam defining a trajectory forming a non-zero angle of incidence with respect to a perpendicular to a plane of the substrate.
