Abstract
In a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, a fin structure is formed over a substrate, an isolation insulating layer is formed over the substrate such that an upper portion of the fin structure protrudes from the isolation insulating layer, a first dielectric layer is formed on the upper portion of the fin structure, a cover layer is formed on the first dielectric layer, the cover layer is partially removed from an upper part of the upper portion of the fin structure with the first dielectric layer, the first dielectric layer is removed from the upper part of the upper portion of the fin structure, a second dielectric layer is formed on the upper part of the upper portion of the fin structure, and a gate electrode is formed on the second dielectric layer and the first dielectric layer disposed on an lower part of the upper portion of the fin structure.
