Abstract:
A semiconductor layer is etched into a plurality of fin structures. A first nitridation process is performed to side surfaces of the fin structures. The first nitridation process forms a first oxynitride layer at the side surfaces of the fin structures. A liner oxide layer is formed on the first oxynitride layer. An isolation structure is formed around the fin structures after the forming of the liner oxide layer.

Claim (Index 6):
The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:\n removing a portion of the isolation structure, thereby exposing a second segment of each of the fin structures while a first segment of each of the fin structures remains embedded in a remaining portion of the isolation structure; and forming a gate structure that wraps around each of the fin structures.
