Abstract:
A method for forming a FinFET structure includes providing a substrate, a first region and a second region being defined on the substrate, a first fin structure and a second fin structure being disposed on the substrate within the first region and the second region respectively. A first oxide layer cover the first fin structure and the second fin structure. Next a first protective layer and a second protective layer are entirely formed on the substrate and the first oxide layer in sequence, the second protective layer within the first region is removed, and the first protective layer within the first region is then removed. Afterwards, the first oxide layer covering the first fin structure and the second protective layer within the second region are removed simultaneously, and a second oxide layer is formed to cover the first fin structure.
Abstract:
A fin structure cutting process includes the following steps. Four fin structures are formed in a substrate, where the four fin structures including a first fin structure, a second fin structure, a third fin structure and a fourth fin structure are arranged sequentially and parallel to each other. A first fin structure cutting process is performed to remove top parts of the second fin structure and the third fin structure, thereby a first bump being formed from the second fin structure, and a second bump being formed from the third fin structure. A second fin structure cutting process is performed to remove the second bump and the fourth fin structure completely, but to preserve the first bump beside the first fin structure. Moreover, the present invention provides a fin structure formed by said process.

A patterned structure of a semiconductor device includes a substrate, a first feature and a second feature. The first feature and the second feature are disposed on the substrate, and either of which includes a vertical segment and a horizontal segment. There is a distance between the vertical segment of the first feature and the vertical segment of the second feature, and the distance is less than the minimum exposure limits of an exposure apparatus.
