Abstract:
A FINFET structure is provided. The FINFET structure includes a substrate, a PMOS element, a NMOS element, a STI structure, and a bump structure. The substrate includes a first area and a second area adjacent to the first area. The PMOS element is disposed in the first area of the substrate, and includes at least one first fin structure. The NMOS element is disposed in the second area of the substrate and includes at least one second fin structure. The STI structure is disposed between the first fin structure and the second fin structure. The bump structure is disposed on the STI structure and has a carbon-containing dielectric material.
Abstract:
A field effect transistor (FinFET) device includes a substrate, a fin structure, a shallow trench isolation and a gate structure. The fin structure is formed on a surface of the substrate and includes a base fin structure and an epitaxial fin structure formed on the base fin structure. The shallow trench isolation structure is formed on the surface of the substrate and includes a peripheral zone and a concave zone. The peripheral zone physically contacts with the fin structure. The gate structure is disposed on the epitaxial fin structure perpendicularly. A method of fabricating the aforementioned field effect transistor is also provided.
Abstract:
The method for cleaning a contact hole and forming a contact plug therein is provided. The method includes steps of: providing a silicon substrate; forming a contact hole in the silicon substrate; performing a pre-cleaning process to clean the contact hole; and forming a contact plug in the contact hole. The pre-cleaning process includes steps of: performing an oxide dry etching process; performing a first thermal annealing process with a temperature which is equal to or greater than 300° C.; performing a degassing process with a temperature which is equal to or greater than 300° C.; and performing an Ar-plasma etching process.
