Abstract

A method of forming a FinFET device. The method may include providing a substrate having a single crystalline region, heating the substrate to a substrate temperature effective for dynamically removing implant damage during ion implantation, implanting ions into the substrate while the substrate is maintained at the substrate temperature, and patterning the single crystalline region so as to form a single crystalline fin.
