The gate lines are parallel and have a plurality of discontinuous regions forming as a plurality of slots. A region of any one of the gate lines adjacent to an unbalance of the slots has a second line width smaller than the first line width.

Electronic circuit of fin FET and methof for fabricating the electronic circuit

A semiconductor structure comprises a substrate, a plurality of fins, an oxide layer and a gate structure. The fins protrude from the substrate and are separated from each other by the oxide layer. The surface of the oxide layer is uniform and even plane. The gate structure is disposed on the fins. The fin height is distance between the top of the fins and the oxide layer, and at least two of the fins have different fin heights.

Semiconductor structure and manufacturing method thereof

A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device is provided. A first stack structure and a second stack structure are formed to respectively cover a portion of a first fin structure and a second fin structure. Subsequently, a spacer is respectively formed on the sidewalls of the fin structures through an atomic layer deposition process and the composition of the spacers includes silicon carbon nitride. Afterwards, a interlayer dielectric is formed and etched so as to expose the hard mask layers. A mask layer is formed to cover the second stack structure and a portion of the dielectric layer. Later, the hard mask layer in the first stack structure is removed under the coverage of the mask layer. Then, a dummy layer in the first stack structure is replaced with a conductive layer.

Method for manufacturing semiconductor devices

A fin-shaped structure forming process includes the following step. A first mandrel and a second mandrel are formed on a substrate. A first spacer material is formed to entirely cover the first mandrel, the second mandrel and the substrate. The exposed first spacer material is etched to form a first spacer on the substrate beside the first mandrel. A second spacer material is formed to entirely cover the first mandrel, the second mandrel and the substrate. The second spacer material and the first spacer material are etched to form a second spacer on the substrate beside the second mandrel and a third spacer including the first spacer on the substrate beside the first mandrel. The layout of the second spacer and the third spacer is transferred to the substrate, so a second fin-shaped structure and a first fin-shaped structure having different widths are formed respectively.

Fin-shaped structure forming process

A replacement gate process is disclosed. A substrate and a dummy gate structure formed on the substrate is provided, wherein the dummy gate structure comprises a dummy layer on the substrate, a hard mask layer on the dummy layer, spacers at two sides of the dummy layer and the hard mask layer, and a contact etch stop layer (CESL) covering the substrate, the spacers and the hard mask layer. The spacers and the CESL are made of the same material. Then, a top portion of the CESL is removed to expose the hard mask layer. Next, the hard mask layer is removed. Afterward, the dummy layer is removed to form a trench.
