Abstract: A method for producing a pillar structure in a semiconductor layer, the method including providing a structure including, on a main surface, a semiconductor layer. A patterned hard mask layer stack is provided on the semiconductor layer that includes a first layer in contact with the semiconductor layer and a second layer overlying and in contact with the first layer. The semiconductor layer is etched using the patterned hard mask layer stack as a mask. The etching includes subjecting the structure to a first plasma thereby removing a first part of the semiconductor layer and at least a part of the second layer while preserving the first layer thereby, producing a first part of the pillar structure, thereafter; and subjecting the structure to a second plasma thereby removing a second part of the semiconductor layer thereby, producing a second part of the pillar structure.

Abstract: A method for forming a semiconductor device structure includes forming a layer stack comprising alternating sacrificial layers of a first semiconductor material and channel layers of a second semiconductor material. The method includes forming over the layer stack a plurality of parallel and regularly spaced core lines and forming spacer lines on side surfaces of the core lines. The method includes forming first trenches extending through the layer stack by etching the layer stack while using the core lines and the spacer lines as an etch mask and forming insulating walls in the first trenches and in the gaps by filling the first trenches and the gaps with insulating wall material. The method also includes forming second trenches extending through the layer stack by etching the layer stack while using the spacer lines and the insulating walls as an etch mask, thereby forming a plurality of pairs of fin structures.
