Abstract: A method includes forming a gate stack on a semiconductor region, wherein the semiconductor region is over a bulk semiconductor substrate. The gate stack is etched to form a first trench, wherein a plurality of protruding semiconductor fins are revealed to the first trench. The plurality of protruding semiconductor fins are etched to form a plurality of second trenches extending into the bulk semiconductor substrate. The plurality of second trenches are underlying and joined to the first trench. The plurality of second trenches include a first outmost trench having a first depth, a second outmost trench, and an inner trench between the first outmost trench and the second outmost trench. The inner trench has a second depth equal to or smaller than the first depth. A fin isolation region is formed to fill the first trench and the plurality of second trenches.

Abstract: A method of forming a FinFET device includes following steps. A substrate is provided with a plurality of fins thereon, an isolation layer thereon covering lower portions of the fins, a plurality of dummy strips across the fins, and a dielectric layer aside the dummy strips. The dummy strips is cut to form a trench in the dielectric layer. A first insulating structure is formed in the trench, wherein first and second groups of the dummy strips are beside the first insulating structure. A dummy strip is removed from the first group of the dummy strips to form a first opening that exposes portions of the fins under the dummy strip. The portions of the fins are removed to form a plurality of second openings below the first opening, wherein each second opening has a middle-wide profile. A second insulating structure is formed in the first and second openings.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for controlling critical dimension (CD) of a circuit is provided. An apparatus includes a controller for receiving CD measurements at respective locations in a circuit pattern in an etched film on a first substrate and a single wafer chamber for forming a second film of the film material on a second substrate. The single wafer chamber is responsive to a signal from the controller to locally adjust a thickness of the second film based on the measured CD's. A method provides for etching a circuit pattern of a film on a first substrate, measuring CD's of the circuit pattern, adjusting a single wafer chamber to form a second film on a second semiconductor substrate based on the measured CD. The second film thickness is locally adjusted based on the measured CD's.
