Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device is provided, comprising steps of providing a substrate with an underlying layer formed thereon; forming a gate layer overlying the underlying layer; and forming a multi-layer hard mask layer on the gate layer, and the multi-layer hard mask layer comprising a plurality of material layers and a top hard mask formed on the material layers, wherein the gate layer and the top hard mask contain the same element, such as silicon.
Abstract:
A process for fabricating a fin-type field effect transistor (FinFET) structure is described. A semiconductor substrate is patterned to form a fin. A spacer is formed on the sidewall of the fin. A portion of the fin is removed, such that the spacer and the surface of the remaining fin together define a cavity. A piece of a semiconductor compound is formed from the cavity, wherein the upper portion of the piece of the semiconductor compound laterally extends over the spacer.
