Abstract
A method for fabricating a semiconductor structure includes forming a plurality of mandrels over a substrate, wherein the substrate comprises a semiconductor substrate as a base. Then, a first dielectric layer is formed to cover on a predetermined mandrel of the mandrels. A second dielectric layer is formed over the substrate to cover the mandrels. The mandrels are removed, wherein a remaining portion of the first dielectric layer and the second dielectric layer at a sidewall of the mandrels remains on the substrate. An anisotropic etching process is performed over the substrate until a top portion of the semiconductor substrate is etched to form a plurality of fins corresponding to the remaining portion of the first dielectric layer and the second dielectric layer.
