The invention provides a method for fabricating a fin structure for fin field effect transistor, including following steps. Providing a substrate, including a fin structure having a silicon fin and a single mask layer just on a top of the silicon fin, the single mask layer being as a top portion of the fin structure. Forming a stress buffer layer on the substrate and conformally covering over the fin structure. Performing a nitridation treatment on the stress buffer layer to have a nitride portion. Perform a flowable deposition process to form a flowable dielectric layer to cover over the fin structures. Annealing the flowable dielectric layer. Polishing the flowable dielectric layer, wherein the nitride portion of the stress buffer layer is used as a polishing stop.

Method for fabricating fin structure for fin field effect transistor

The invention provides a fin structure for a fin field effect transistor, including a substrate. The substrate includes a plurality of silicon fins, wherein a top of each one of the silicon fins is a round-like shape in a cross-section view. An isolation layer is disposed on the substrate between the silicon fins at a lower portion of the silicon fins while an upper portion of the silicon fins is exposed. A stress buffer layer is disposed on a sidewall of the silicon fins between the isolation layer and the lower portion of the silicon fins. The stress buffer layer includes a nitride portion.
