Abstract

A method of forming a semiconductor device may include forming a plurality of fins extending from a buried oxide layer, wherein a masking layer is disposed atop each of the plurality of fins, and performing a high-temperature ion implant to the semiconductor device. The method may further include performing an etch process to remove the masking layer from atop each of the plurality of fins, wherein the etch process does not remove the buried oxide layer.
