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 1):
A method of forming a semiconductor structure, the method comprising:\n oxidizing at least a first exposed portion and a second exposed portion of a strained silicon germanium layer formed on top of a substrate, the oxidizing forming at least one patterned strained silicon germanium area within the strained silicon germanium layer comprising a first oxide end region and a second oxide end region corresponding to the first and second exposed portions, respectively, of the strained silicon germanium layer.
