A second opening (not shown) is formed in the nanowire structure; the portion of the first sacrificial layer 102 exposed by the first opening is removed, and a third sidewall 114 is formed on the sidewall of the first sacrificial layer 102, and the outer surface of the third sidewall 114 is flush with the sidewall surface of the first nanowire 103; the portion of the second sacrificial layer exposed by the second opening is removed, and a fourth sidewall (not shown) is formed on the sidewall of the second sacrificial layer, and the outer surface of the fourth sidewall is flush with the sidewall surface of the second nanowire; after the third sidewall 114 and the fourth sidewall are formed, a first source-drain doped region 115 is formed in the first opening; and a second source-drain doped region 116 is formed in the second opening.
[0019] The first region I of the substrate 100 is used to form a GAA logic device, and the second region II is used to form a static random access memory device. The static random access memory is composed of multiple independent transistors, and the formed transistors are independent of each other. Therefore, adjacent second source and drain doping regions 116 need to have a certain distance; and the GAA logic device requires the first source and drain doping regions 115 to contact each other to obtain a larger volume to enhance the channel control capability.
[0020] During the formation of the semiconductor structure, when part of the initial first nanowire structure on both sides of the first pseudo-gate structure is removed to form the first opening, part of the first sidewall remains on the sidewall of the first opening, and when part of the initial second nanowire structure on both sides of the second pseudo-gate structure is removed, part of the first sidewall remains on the sidewall of the second opening; when the third sidewall 114 and the fourth sidewall are subsequently formed, the process of first deposition and then removal causes the remaining first sidewall and second sidewall to be removed as well. Therefore, the sidewall of the second opening on the second region II does not restrict the growth of the second sidewall, so that when the first source and drain doping region 115 and the second source and drain doping region 116 are formed at the same time, the growth volume of the second source and drain doping region 116 is also large due to the lack of position restriction in the second opening, which makes it easy for bridging to occur, causing adjacent transistors with their respective functions to short-circuit, thereby affecting the performance of the static random access memory device.
[0021] In order to solve the above problems, the technical solution of the present invention provides a semiconductor structure and a method for forming a semiconductor structure, by making the top surface of the isolation layer on the first region lower than the top surface of the isolation layer on the second region, so that the bottom plane of the subsequently formed first opening is flush with the top plane of the isolation layer, and the bottom of the formed second opening is located in the isolation layer. The isolation layer limits the growth of the second source-drain doped region in the second opening, so that the volume of the first source-drain doped region is larger than the volume of the second source-drain doped region, so that the second source-drain doped region is not prone to bridging, so as to meet the needs of forming different devices in the first region and the second region.

[0034] Please refer to Figures 9 to 12 , Figure 9 for Figure 10 、 Figure 11 and Figure 12 A top view of Figure 10 for Figure 9 Schematic diagram of the cross-section structure along the section line AA1, Figure 11 for Figure 9 Schematic diagram of the cross-section structure along the section line BB1, Figure 12 for Figure 9 In the cross-sectional structural diagram along the section line CC1, a first dummy gate structure 220 and a second dummy gate structure 208 are formed on the isolation layer 230.

[0035] The first dummy gate structure 220 includes a first dummy gate dielectric layer (not shown) and a first dummy gate layer (not labeled) located on the first dummy gate dielectric layer. The second dummy gate structure 208 includes a second dummy gate dielectric layer (not shown) and a second dummy gate layer (not labeled) located on the second dummy gate dielectric layer.
[0036] The materials of the first dummy gate dielectric layer and the second dummy gate dielectric layer include silicon oxide or low-K (K is less than 3.9) material; the materials of the first dummy gate layer and the second dummy gate layer include polysilicon.
[0037] Please refer to Figure 13 and Figure 14 , Figure 13 For Figure 11 The structural diagram of the foundation, Figure 14 For Figure 10 Based on the structural schematic diagram, a first sidewall 209 is formed on the sidewall of the first pseudo gate structure 220, and the first sidewall 209 is also located on the sidewall of the initial first nanowire structure. A second sidewall (not shown) is formed on the sidewall of the second pseudo gate structure 208, and the second sidewall is also located on the sidewall of the initial second nanowire structure.
[0038] In this embodiment, the first sidewall spacer 209 and the second sidewall spacer are formed simultaneously.

The dielectric materials include one or more of silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon carbide, silicon oxycarbide, silicon oxynitride, aluminum oxide, aluminum nitride, silicon carbide nitride, and silicon carbide nitride.
[0040] In this embodiment, the materials of the first spacer 209 and the second spacer include silicon nitride.
[0041] Please continue to refer to Figure 13 and Figure 14 , remove part of the initial first nanowire structure on both sides of the first dummy gate structure 220, form a first opening 210 in the initial first nanowire structure on both sides of the first dummy gate structure, and the bottom plane of the first opening 210 is flush with the top plane of the isolation layer 230 of the first region I; remove part of the initial second nanowire structure on both sides of the second dummy gate structure 208, form a second opening 211 in the initial second nanowire structure on both sides of the second dummy gate structure and in the isolation layer 230 of the second region II, and the depths of the first opening 210 and the second opening 211 are the same.
[0042] In this embodiment, the first opening 210 and the second opening 211 are formed simultaneously. The first opening 210 exposes the surface of the first bottom structure 201 , and the second opening 211 exposes the surface of the second bottom structure 204 .
[0043] In this embodiment, a portion of the first sidewall 209 remains on the sidewall of the first opening 210 .
[0044] Since the top surface of the isolation layer 230 on the first region I is lower than the top surface of the isolation layer 230 on the second region II, when the first opening 210 and the second opening 211 are formed at the same time, the bottom of the second opening 211 is located in the isolation layer 230. The isolation layer 230 plays a role in position restriction when the second source and drain doping regions are subsequently formed, thereby preventing the second source and drain doping regions from becoming too large and contacting each other.
[0045] Next, the portion of the first sacrificial layer 202 exposed by the first opening 210 is removed, and a third sidewall spacer is formed on the sidewall of the first sacrificial layer 202. The outer surface of the third sidewall spacer is flush with the sidewall surface of the first nanowire 203. The portion of the second sacrificial layer 205 exposed by the second opening 211 is removed, and a fourth sidewall spacer is formed on the sidewall of the second sacrificial layer 205. The outer surface of the fourth sidewall spacer is flush with the sidewall surface of the second nanowire 206. The formation process of the third and fourth sidewalls can be referred to. Figures 15 to 19 .
[0046] Please refer to Figure 15 , Figure 15 For Figure 13Based on the schematic diagram, the portion of the first sacrificial layer 202 exposed by the first opening 210 is removed to form a first groove 212 between adjacent first nanowires 203 and between the first nanowire 203 and the first bottom structure 201; the portion of the second sacrificial layer 205 exposed by the second opening 211 is removed to form a second groove (not shown) between adjacent second nanowires 206 and between the second nanowire 206 and the second bottom structure 204.
[0047] The process of removing the first sacrificial layer 202 and the second sacrificial layer 205 includes a dry etching process, and the dry etching process has a relatively large selectivity for the first nanowire 203 and the second nanowire 206 .
[0048] Please refer to Figure 16 and Figure 17 , Figure 16 For Figure 15 Based on the schematic diagram, Figure 17 For Figure 14 Based on the schematic diagram, a sidewall material layer 213 is formed in the first groove 212, the second groove, the sidewall surface and bottom surface of the first opening 210, the sidewall surface and bottom surface of the second opening 211, the surface of the isolation layer 230, the surface of the initial first nanowire structure and the surface of the initial second nanowire structure.
[0049] The material of the spacer material layer 213 includes a dielectric material, and the dielectric material includes one or more combinations of silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon carbide, silicon oxycarbide, silicon oxynitride, aluminum oxide, aluminum nitride, silicon carbide nitride, and silicon carbide nitride.
[0050] The material of the spacer material layer 213 is the same as that of the first spacer 209 and the second spacer 209. In this embodiment, the material of the spacer material layer 213 includes silicon nitride.
[0051] Please refer to Figure 18 and Figure 19 , Figure 18 For Figure 16 Based on the schematic diagram, Figure 19 For Figure 17 Based on the schematic diagram, the sidewall material layer 213 of the sidewall surface and bottom surface of the first opening 210, the sidewall surface and bottom surface of the second opening 211, the surface of the isolation layer 230, the surface of the initial first nanowire structure and the surface of the initial second nanowire structure is removed to form a third sidewall 214 in the first groove 212 and a fourth sidewall (not shown) in the second groove.
[0052] While removing the sidewall material layer 213 on the first opening sidewall surface and bottom surface, the second opening sidewall surface and bottom surface, the isolation layer surface, the initial first nanowire structure surface and the initial second nanowire structure surface, it also includes: removing the first sidewall 209 remaining on the sidewall of the first opening 210.
[0053] The process of removing the spacer material layer 213 includes a dry etching process.
[0054] In this embodiment, when the spacer material layer 213 is removed, the isolation layer 203 is also partially consumed naturally.
[0055] Please refer to Figure 20 and Figure 21 , Figure 20 For Figure 18 Based on the schematic diagram, Figure 21 For Figure 19 Based on the schematic diagram, a first source-drain doping region 215 is formed in the first opening 210; a second source-drain doping region 216 is formed in the second opening 211, and the volume of the second source-drain doping region 216 is smaller than the volume of the first source-drain doping region 215. The first source-drain doping region 215 and the second source-drain doping region 216 are formed at the same time.
[0056] In this embodiment, the material of the first source / drain doping region 215 includes silicon germanium; the material of the second source / drain doping region 216 includes silicon germanium.
[0057] The first region I of the substrate 200 is used to form a GAA logic device, and the second region II is used to form a static random access memory device. The static random access memory is composed of multiple independent transistors, and the formed transistors are independent of each other. Therefore, adjacent second source and drain doping regions 216 need to have a certain distance; and the GAA logic device requires the first source and drain doping regions 215 to contact each other to obtain a larger volume to enhance the channel control capability.
[0058] Since the isolation layer 230 at the bottom of the second opening 210 serves to limit the position when the second source-drain doped region 216 grows, the volume of the formed second source-drain doped region 216 is smaller than the volume of the first source-drain doped region 215, so that the second source-drain doped region 216 is not prone to bridging, thereby meeting the needs of forming different devices in the first region I and the second region II.
[0059] Please refer to Figure 22 , Figure 22 For Figure 20 Based on the schematic diagram, after forming the first source-drain doped region 215 and the second source-drain doped region 216, it also includes: forming a first gate structure 217, the first gate structure 217 surrounds the first nanowire 203; forming a second gate structure (not shown), the second gate structure surrounds the second nanowire 206.
[0060] The method for forming the first gate structure 217 and the second gate structure includes: forming a dielectric layer 221 on the first dummy gate structure 220, the second dummy gate structure 208, the isolation layer 230, the initial first nanowire structure and the initial second nanowire structure, wherein the first dummy gate structure 220, the second dummy gate structure 208, the first source-drain doped region 215 and the second source-drain doped region 216 are located in the dielectric layer 221; removing the first dummy gate structure 220 to form a first gate opening (not shown) in the dielectric layer 221; removing the second dummy gate structure to form a second gate opening (not shown) in the dielectric layer 221; and removing the first sacrificial layer 221 exposed by the first gate structure opening. 02, forming a first nanowire structure, and forming a third groove (not shown) between adjacent first nanowires 203 and between the first nanowire 203 and the first bottom structure 201; removing the second sacrificial layer 205 exposed by the opening of the second gate structure 208 to form a second nanowire structure, and forming a fourth groove (not shown) between adjacent second nanowires 206 and between the second nanowire 206 and the second bottom structure 204; forming a first gate structure 217 in the first gate opening, the first gate structure spanning the first nanowire structure and located in the third groove; forming a second gate structure in the second gate opening, the second gate structure spanning the second nanowire structure and located in the fourth groove.
