[0049] Figure 8 to Figure 18 is a schematic cross-sectional structure diagram of the formation process of a semiconductor device according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 8 , providing a substrate 200 .

[0051] In this embodiment, the base 200 includes a substrate 210 and a plurality of fins 220 on the substrate 210 that are separated from each other.

[0052] In this embodiment, the material of the substrate 210 is single crystal silicon. In other embodiments, the substrate 210 may also be polysilicon or amorphous silicon. The material of the substrate 210 may also be germanium, silicon germanium, gallium arsenide, silicon on insulator (SOI), germanium on insulator (GOI) and other semiconductor materials.

[0053] In this embodiment, the method for forming the substrate 210 and the fins 220 includes: providing an initial substrate (not shown); forming a patterned layer on the initial substrate; The initial substrate is...

[0099] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is only that a hard mask layer is formed on the top surface of the gate structure before forming the sacrificial layer.

[0100] The process from providing the substrate to forming the gate structure is the same as in the first embodiment, please refer to Figure 8 to Figure 11 .

[0101] Please refer to Figure 19 , forming a hard mask layer 202 on the gate structure 230 , and forming a sacrificial layer 240 on the hard mask layer 202 .

[0102] The purpose of forming the hard mask layer 202 on the gate structure 230 is to prevent short circuit between the gate structure 230 and the source-drain doped layer (not shown in the figure), and to play the role of electrical isolation.

[0103] After forming the sacrificial layer 240 on the hard mask layer 202, please refer to Figure 13 to Figure 18 .

[0104] Correspondingly, the present invention also provides a semiconductor device, including: a base 200,...

Abstract

The invention discloses a semiconductor device and a forming method thereof. The semiconductor device comprises a substrate; a gate structure located on the substrate and comprising a first region and a second region, wherein the length of the gate structure of the first region is larger than that of the gate structure of the second region; and a segmentation section located in the gate structure of the first region, wherein the top surface of the segmentation section is higher than the top surface of the gate structure. The segmentation section is formed in the gate structure, and the top surface of the segmentation section is higher than the top surface of the gate structure, so that when a metal layer is subsequently formed on the gate structure as an interconnection layer, the problem of short circuit between the metal layer and the gate structure is solved, and the quality of a formed semiconductor device is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor manufacturing, in particular to a semiconductor device and a forming method thereof. Background technique [0002] The electronics industry is constantly evolving towards the need for smaller and faster electronic devices capable of simultaneously supporting a greater number and increasing complexity of cutting-edge functions. Accordingly, a continuing trend in the semiconductor industry is to manufacture low cost, high performance, and low power integrated circuits (ICs). To date, these goals have been largely achieved by scaling down semiconductor IC dimensions (eg, minimum feature size (CD)), thereby increasing production efficiency and reducing associated costs. However, this scaling down also increases the complexity of the semiconductor manufacturing process. Therefore, continuous progress of semiconductor ICs and devices requires simultaneous progress of semiconductor manufacturing ...
