As shown in frame 01, step S01: provide semi-conductive substrate, forms Fin structure and grid and gate lateral wall over the substrate.
Refer to Fig. 2.Substrate 1 of the present invention is chosen as silicon chip or SOI (silicon-on-insulator) substrate of monocrystalline.For SOI technology, but be not limited to SOI technology, first, the existing known technology of industry can be adopted, SOI substrate 1 adopts such as epitaxial growth technology to form Fin structure sheaf.Alternatively, the described Fin structure sheaf in the present embodiment can be made up of monocrystalline silicon.Then, carry out the coating of photoresist, exposure and development, described Fin structure sheaf is carried out graphically, and etching forms the monocrystalline silicon Fin structure 2 (fin-shaped semiconductor structure) of strip.Next, the existing known technology of industry can be adopted equally, Fin structure 2 is formed grid oxygen successively (do not show in figure, refer to grid oxygen 5 locations of structures in Fig. 5), grid 4 and form gate lateral wall 3 in grid 4 both sides, and formed across and three bread enclose the grid structure 6 of Fin2.As an optional embodiment, the material of described grid 4 can be made up of polysilicon, metal or metal silicide.Such as, LPCVD technique can be adopted to form polycrystalline silicon gate layer, then, adopt photoetching process, carry out the coating of photoresist, exposure and development, described polysilicon layer is carried out graphically, and removes unnecessary polysilicon segment by etch process, form across and surround the grid 4 of described Fin structure 2.
As shown in frame 02, step S02: the Fin part beyond described grid lower channels position is removed.
Refer to Fig. 3.Next, in order to strengthening subsequent stressor layers is to the effect of raceway groove, need first to make part Transformatin, to enable the both sides of raceway groove be subject to the direct effect of stressor layers tension stress to the Fin (namely exposing the Fin structure division outside bottom grid 4 and sidewall 3 shown in Fig. 2) beyond grid 4 lower channels position.Photoresist can be utilized to cover the region not needing to remove beyond this part Fin structure, then, then adopt dry method etch technology to carve the required part Fin removed.Fin structure 2 after etching, remaining be positioned at raceway groove place Fin part 2-1 (diagram vertical portion) and raceway groove Fin part 2-1 beyond Fin part 2-2 (diagram horizontal component).
