Abstract
Embodiments described herein generally provide a method and apparatus to form semiconductor devices. Specifically, embodiments describe an apparatus and methods of forming channels in sub-5 nm node FinFETS. The method provides for various processing steps to deposit a dielectric layer over a substrate. The method continues by etching a trench in the dielectric layer, depositing a silicon layer within the trench, depositing a buffer layer on top of the silicon layer in the trench, removing a portion of the buffer layer to form a planar surface, etching the buffer layer into a v-shape, and depositing a channel layer on top of the v-shaped buffer layer. The v-shaped buffer layer advantageously negates facet formation and provides for an InGaAs fin-channel with uniform distribution of indium and gallium throughout the channel.
