Abstract
A fabricating method of a semiconductor structure includes providing a substrate divided into a dense region and an isolated region, wherein a first gate structure is disposed within the dense region, and a second gate structure is disposed within the isolated region. Then, a first material layer is formed to cover the first gate structure, the second gate structure and the substrate. Later, a second material layer is formed to cover the first material layer. After that, the second material layer within the dense region is entirely removed. Subsequently, a third material layer is formed to cover the isolated region and the dense region. Next, the substrate is etched to forma first recess at two sides of the first gate structure, and a second recess at two sides of the second gate structure. Finally, an epitaxial layer is formed to fill the first recess and the second recess.
