  • Patent number: 10211107
    Abstract: A method of fabricating fins includes providing a silicon substrate. The silicon substrate is etched to form numerous fin elements. A surface of each of the fin elements is silicon. Etch residues are formed on the fin elements after the silicon substrate is etched. After that, a flush step is performed on the fin elements by flushing the surface of each of the fin elements with fluorocarbons. The etch residues on the fin elements are removed by the flush step. After the flush step, a strip step is performed on the fin elements by treating the surface of each of the fin elements with oxygen plasma.
