Abstract: A method for fabricating a semiconductor device includes the steps of first forming a gate structure on a substrate, forming a first spacer on the gate structure, forming a patterned mask on the gate structure and one side of the gate structure, removing the first spacer on another side of the gate structure, and then forming a source/drain region adjacent to two sides of the gate structure.

Abstract: A method for physically unclonable function through gate height tuning is provided in the present invention, including steps of forming a high-k dielectric layer and a dummy silicon layer on a semiconductor substrate, removing the dummy silicon layer, forming a work function layer and a metal filling layer on the high-k dielectric layer, and performing a CMP process to remove the metal filling layer, so as to form metal gates with heights lower than a critical gate height, and using the metal gates to manufacture PIO pairs in an internal bias generator. Since the height of metal gates is lower than the critical gate height, a local threshold voltage mismatching of the programmed I/O (PIO) pairs becomes larger, so as to achieve random code generation in physically unclonable function (PUF).

Abstract: Provided are a semiconductor structure and a manufacturing method thereof. The manufacturing method of the semiconductor structure includes the following. A gate structure is formed on a substrate. A tilt implanting process is performed to implant group IV elements into the substrate to form a doped region, and the doped region is located on two sides of the gate structure and partially located under the gate structure. A part of the substrate on two sides of the gate structure is removed to form a first recess. A cleaning process is performed on the surface of the first recess. A wet etching process is performed on the first recess to form a second recess. A semiconductor layer is formed in the second recess.
