Abstract:
A method for forming a semiconductor device. The method may include providing a transistor structure, where the transistor structure includes a fin array, the fin array including a plurality of semiconductor fins, disposed on a substrate. A liner may be disposed on the plurality of semiconductor fins. The method may include directing first angled ions to the fin array, wherein the liner is removed in an upper portion of the plurality of semiconductor fins, and wherein the liner remains in a lower portion of the at least one of the plurality of semiconductor fins, and wherein the upper portion comprises an active fin region to form a transistor device.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for forming a semiconductor device, comprising:\n providing a transistor structure, the transistor structure comprising a fin array, the fin array including a plurality of semiconductor fins, disposed on a substrate, wherein a liner is disposed on the plurality of semiconductor fins; and directing first angled ions to the fin array, in a reactive ion etching mixture, wherein the liner is removed in an upper portion of the plurality of semiconductor fins, wherein the liner remains in a lower portion of the at least one of the plurality of semiconductor fins, and wherein the upper portion comprises an active fin region to form a transistor device.
