A through-silicon via forming method includes the following steps. Firstly, a semiconductor substrate is provided. Then, a through-silicon via conductor is formed in the semiconductor substrate, and a topside of the through-silicon via conductor is allowed to be at the same level as a surface of the semiconductor substrate. Afterwards, a portion of the through-silicon via conductor is removed, and the topside of the through-silicon via conductor is allowed to be at a level lower than the surface of the semiconductor substrate, so that a recess is formed over the through-silicon via conductor.

A semiconductor process is described as follows. A plurality of dummy patterns is formed on a substrate. A mask material layer is conformally formed on the substrate, so as to cover the dummy patterns. The mask material layer has an etching rate different from that of the dummy patterns. A portion of the mask material layer is removed, so as to form a mask layer on respective sidewalls of each dummy pattern. An upper surface of the mask layer and an upper surface of each dummy pattern are substantially coplanar. The dummy patterns are removed. A portion of the substrate is removed using the mask layer as a mask, so as to form a plurality of fin structures and a plurality of trenches alternately arranged in the substrate. The mask layer is removed.

A fin field-effect transistor structure includes a substrate, a fin channel and a high-k metal gate. The high-k metal gate is formed on the substrate and the fin channel. A process of manufacturing the fin field-effect transistor structure includes the following steps. Firstly, a polysilicon pseudo gate structure is formed on the substrate and a surface of the fin channel. By using the polysilicon pseudo gate structure as a mask, a source/drain region is formed in the fin channel. After the polysilicon pseudo gate structure is removed, a high-k dielectric layer and a metal gate layer are successively formed. Afterwards, a planarization process is performed on the substrate having the metal gate layer until the first dielectric layer is exposed, so that a high-k metal gate is produced.
