Method of manufacturing a semiconductor device and a semiconductor device

Abstract

In a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, a fin structure, which includes a stacked layer of first semiconductor layers and second semiconductor layers disposed over a bottom fin structure and a hard mask layer over the stacked layer, is formed. An isolation insulating layer is formed. A sacrificial cladding layer is formed over at least sidewalls of the exposed hard mask layer and stacked layer. A first dielectric layer is formed. A second dielectric layer is formed over the first dielectric layer. The second dielectric layer is recessed. A third dielectric layer is formed on the recessed second dielectric layer. The third dielectric layer is partially removed to form a trench. A fourth dielectric layer is formed by filling the trench with a dielectric material, thereby forming a wall fin structure.
