Embodiment 1

[0069] reference Figure 5 , A semiconductor substrate 300 is provided, and at least one isolation structure is formed on the semiconductor substrate 300.

[0070] In this embodiment, the semiconductor substrate 300 is a silicon substrate. In other embodiments, the semiconductor substrate may also be silicon-on-insulator. The isolation structure is a shallow trench isolation structure (STI). In other embodiments, the isolation structure may also be other isolation structures known to those skilled in the art, for example, a field oxide layer isolation structure.

[0071] In this embodiment, the method of forming the shallow trench isolation structure is: forming at least one opening (not shown) on the semiconductor substrate 300, and depositing an isolation layer in the opening. In this embodiment, the material of the isolation layer is silicon oxide. The silicon oxide fills the opening and covers the semiconductor substrate 300. Next, the silicon oxide layer higher than the se...

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of semiconductors, and in particular to methods for forming semiconductor structures. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of integrated circuit manufacturing technology, the feature size of transistors is getting smaller and smaller. Under the condition that the feature size of transistors continues to shrink, in order to improve the electron migration rate of the source and drain of the transistor, the material is the active region of germanium. Introduced into P-type transistors and N-type transistors. As the feature size of transistors is further reduced, active regions made of elements of Group III and Five are introduced into N-type transistors to replace active regions made of germanium. [0003] Figure 1 ~ Figure 4 It is a schematic cross-sectional structure flow diagram of a method for forming a semiconductor structure in the prior art. reference Figure 1 ~ Figure 4 , The specific ...
