Abstract

See full text

A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes providing a substrate structure comprising a substrate, a plurality of fins on the substrate and a hardmask on the fins, forming an insulating layer on the substrate structure covering the fins and the hardmask, removing a portion of the insulating layer by etching to expose the hardmask, removing the hardmask, and performing a fluorine ion implantation into a top portion of the fins. The implanted fluorine ions passivate dangling bonds in the top portion of the fins, thereby improving the reliability of the semiconductor device.
