摘要: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate, at least one semiconductor fin and a gate stack. The semiconductor fin is disposed on the semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor fin includes a first portion, a second portion and a first neck portion between the first portion and the second portion. A width of the first portion decreases as the first portion becomes closer to the first neck portion, and a width of the second portion increases as the second portion becomes closer to a bottom surface of the semiconductor substrate. The gate stack partially covers the semiconductor fin.

摘要: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes at least the following steps. A protrusion is formed in a substrate by an anisotropic etch process, wherein a sidewall of the protrusion is inclined. A recess is formed on the sidewall of the protrusion by an isotropic etch process, wherein during the isotropic etch process, a by-product covers a first portion of the sidewall of the protrusion while exposing a second portion of the sidewall of the protrusion, so that the recess is formed between the first portion and the second portion of the sidewall.
