Abstract: A method includes forming a semiconductor fin protruding higher than top surfaces of isolation regions. The isolation regions extend into a semiconductor substrate. A portion of the semiconductor fin is etched to form a trench, which extends lower than bottom surfaces of the isolation regions, and extends into the semiconductor substrate. The method further includes filling the trench with a first dielectric material to form a first fin isolation region, recessing the first fin isolation region to form a first recess, and filling the first recess with a second dielectric material. The first dielectric material and the second dielectric material in combination form a second fin isolation region.

Abstract: Methods of forming a differential layer, such as a Contact Etch Stop Layer (CESL), in a semiconductor device are described herein, along with structures formed by the methods. In an embodiment, a structure includes an active area on a substrate, a gate structure over the active area, a gate spacer along a sidewall of the gate structure, and a differential etch stop layer. The differential etch stop layer has a first portion along a sidewall of the gate spacer and has a second portion over an upper surface of the source/drain region. A first thickness of the first portion is in a direction perpendicular to the sidewall of the gate spacer, and a second thickness of the second portion is in a direction perpendicular to the upper surface of the source/drain region. The second thickness is greater than the first thickness.

Abstract: Gate structures and gate spacers, along with methods of forming such, are described. In an embodiment, a structure includes an active area on a substrate, a gate structure on the active area and over the substrate, and a low-k gate spacer on the active area and along a sidewall of the gate structure. The gate structure includes a conformal gate dielectric on the active area and includes a gate electrode over the conformal gate dielectric. The conformal gate dielectric extends vertically along a first sidewall of the low-k gate spacer. In some embodiments, the low-k gate spacer can be formed using a selective deposition process after a dummy gate structure has been removed in a replacement gate process.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a photoresist layer over a substrate and forming a dehydrated film over the photoresist layer. The photoresist layer is selectively exposed to actinic radiation to form an exposed portion and an unexposed portion of the photoresist layer. The photoresist layer is developed to remove the unexposed portion of the photoresist layer and a first portion of the dehydrated film over the unexposed portion of the photoresist layer. In an embodiment, the method includes etching the substrate by using the exposed portion of the photoresist layer as a mask.
