Semiconductor device and method of manufacture
A semiconductor device and method for forming the semiconductor device are provided. A first layer is formed over a semiconductor layer, and a first patterned mask is formed over the first layer. A cyclic etch process is then performed to define a second patterned mask in the first layer. The cyclic etch process includes a first phase to form a polymer layer over the first patterned mask and a second phase to remove the polymer layer and to remove a portion of the first layer. A portion of the semiconductor layer is removed using the second patterned mask to define a fin from the semiconductor layer.
