Abstract

A method includes forming an ion implant layer in a fin defined on a semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor substrate is annealed to convert the ion implant layer to a dielectric layer. A gate electrode structure is formed above the fin in a channel region after forming the ion implant layer. The fin is recessed in a source/drain region. A semiconductor material is epitaxially grown in the source/drain region.
