AI Technical Summary
In finned field-effect transistors (FSFETs), the sidewall of the channel is in contact with the dielectric, leading to issues with silicon patterning and degraded electrical performance due to the sidewall portion not being surrounded by the gate, which complicates semiconductor manufacturing and affects electrical performance.
A semiconductor device is designed with dielectric patterns surrounding transistors of the same type, forming a gate-all-around structure that completely surrounds the channel region and includes silicon patterns around the source/drain regions, using a method that involves alternatingly stacking layers, forming dummy patterns, and patterning to create dielectric patterns between transistors.
This configuration reduces chip size and improves electrical performance by ensuring the channel region is fully surrounded by the gate electrode, enhancing the semiconductor device's functionality.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to semiconductor devices and methods for manufacturing the same. Prior Technology
[0002] The content described in this section is merely to provide background information on the technology of this embodiment and does not constitute prior art.
[0003] With the development of semiconductor technology, the demand for higher storage capacity, faster processing systems, and higher performance is gradually increasing. To meet this demand, the semiconductor industry is constantly shrinking the size of semiconductor devices, including planar metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) and fin field-effect transistors (FFETs). This shrinkage increases the complexity of semiconductor manufacturing processes.
[0004] On the other hand, in response to the trend of miniaturization in semiconductor devices, various studies are being conducted to reduce the cell height of field-effect transistors.
[0005] For finned field-effect transistors (FSFETs), a dielectric is placed between the N-type and P-type transistors to reduce cell height. However, in FSFETs, one sidewall of the channel is in contact with the dielectric. In the source / drain region in contact with the dielectric, silicon patterning may not be formed, and the sidewall portion of the channel in contact with the dielectric is not surrounded by the gate, resulting in a degraded electrical performance.
