Abstract: A method of forming a semiconductor device is disclosed. At least one gate structure is provided on a substrate, wherein the gate structure includes a first spacer formed on a sidewall of a gate. A first disposable spacer material layer is deposited on the substrate covering the gate structure. The first disposable spacer material layer is etched to form a first disposable spacer on the first spacer. A second disposable spacer material layer is deposited on the substrate covering the gate structure. The second disposable spacer material layer is etched to form a second disposable spacer on the first disposable spacer. A portion of the substrate is removed, by using the first and second disposable spacers as a mask, so as to form two recesses in the substrate beside the gate structure. A stress-inducing layer is formed in the recesses.

Abstract: A method for fabricating semiconductor device includes the steps of first providing a substrate having a fin-shaped structure thereon, forming a single diffusion break (SDB) structure in the substrate to divide the fin-shaped structure into a first portion and a second portion, and then forming more than one gate structures such as a first gate structure and a second gate structure on the SDB structure. Preferably, each of the first gate structure and the second gate structure overlaps the fin-shaped structure and the SDB structure.

Abstract: A method of forming a semiconductor device. A substrate having a fin structure is provided. A dummy gate is formed on the fin structure. A polymer block is formed adjacent to a corner between the dummy gate and the fin structure. The polymer block is subjected to a nitrogen plasma treatment, thereby forming a nitridation layer in proximity to a sidewall of the dummy gate under the polymer block. After subjecting the polymer block to the nitrogen plasma treatment, a seal layer is formed on the sidewall of the dummy gate and on the polymer block. An epitaxial layer is then grown on a source/drain region of the fin structure. The dummy gate is then replaced with a metal gate.
