Abstract:
A method for fabricating semiconductor device includes the steps of: forming a fin-shaped structure on a substrate; forming a shallow trench isolation (STI) around the fin-shaped structure; forming a liner on the fin-shaped structure; and removing the liner and part of the fin-shaped structure so that a sidewall of the fin-shaped structure comprises a curve. Moreover, the method includes forming an epitaxial layer around the sidewall of the fin-shaped structure while a top surface of the fin-shaped structure is exposed.

Claim (Index 4):
The method of  claim 2 , wherein the liner comprises silicon oxide.
