摘要: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a fin structure on a substrate. A sacrificial layer pattern is formed on the fin structure. An active layer pattern is formed on the sacrificial layer pattern. A dummy gate pattern is formed on the active layer pattern. A spacer is formed on the dummy gate pattern. A source/drain structure is formed on the active layer pattern using an epitaxial growth process. An interlayer dielectric layer is formed on the dummy gate pattern and the active layer pattern. The interlayer dielectric layer is planarized to expose the dummy gate pattern. The dummy gate pattern is removed to expose the active layer pattern and the sacrificial layer pattern. The exposed sacrificial layer pattern is removed to form a through-hole between the exposed active layer pattern and the fin structure, the second portion of the sacrificial layer pattern is not removed.

摘要: A semiconductor device includes a substrate; a first fin structure extending along a first lateral direction; a second fin structure extending along the first lateral direction; a first gate structure extending along a second lateral direction and straddles the first fin structure; a second gate structure extending along the second lateral direction and straddles the second fin structure. The semiconductor device further includes a dielectric cut structure that separates the first and second gate structures from each other. The dielectric cut structure extends into the substrate and comprises a first portion and a second portion. A width of the first portion along the second lateral direction increases with increasing depth into the substrate and a width of the second portion along the second lateral direction decreases with increasing depth into the substrate. The second portion is located below the first portion.
