A method for filling gaps of semiconductor device and a semiconductor device with insulation gaps formed by the same are provided. First, a silicon substrate with plural protruding portions is provided, and the protruding portions are spaced apart from each other by gaps with predetermined depths. A nitride-containing layer is formed above the silicon substrate for covering the protruding portions and surfaces of the gaps as a liner nitride. Then, an amorphous silicon layer is formed on the nitride-containing layer. An insulating layer is formed on the amorphous silicon layer, and the gaps are filled up with the insulating layer.

Method for filling gaps of semiconductor device and semiconductor device formed by the same

A fin field effect transistor (FinFET) on a silicon-on-insulator and method of forming the same are provided in the present invention. The FinFET includes first fin structure, second fin structure and an insulating layer. The first fin structure and the second fin structure are disposed on a substrate. The insulating layer covers the first fin structure and the second fin structure and exposes a first portion of the first fin structure and a second portion of the second fin structure. The first fin structure has a first height and the second fin structure has a second height different from the first height, and a top surface of the first fin structure and a top surface of the second fin structure are at different levels.
