Fig. 1 to Fig. 3 is a kind of structural schematic diagram of the forming process of semiconductor structure;
Fig. 4 to Figure 15 is the structural schematic diagram of the forming process of semiconductor structure in first embodiment of the invention.
Specific embodiment
There are problems for the forming method of semiconductor structure, such as: the difficulty for forming replacement gate structure is larger.
Now in conjunction with a kind of forming method of semiconductor structure, the formation replacement gate structure that the forming method is formed is analyzed The larger reason of difficulty:
Fig. 1 to Fig. 3 is a kind of structural schematic diagram of each step of forming method of semiconductor structure.
Referring to FIG. 1, providing substrate (not shown), there is fin 100 in the substrate, the fin 100 includes There is opening (in figure not in several firstth area A and the second area B between adjacent firstth area A, the 100 second area B of fin It marks);Initial seal coat 101, the top of the initial seal coat 101 are formed in the substrate, the side wall of fin 100 and opening Portion surface exposes the top surface of fin 100;Mask layer 102, the mask layer are formed on the initial seal coat 101 102 have mask open 103, and the bottom-exposed of the mask open 103 goes out initial seal coat 101 and 101 liang of initial seal coat The top surface of the firstth area of part A in lateral fin portion 100.
Referring to FIG. 2, forming initial protection structure 104 in the mask open 103 (see Fig. 1);Form initial protection After structure 104, mask layer 102 is removed, top surface and the part for exposing 100 part of fin the firstth area A are described initial The top surface of separation layer 101.
Referring to FIG. 3, removing part initial seal coat 101 after removing the mask layer 102, separation layer 105 is formed, The top surface of the separation layer 105 is lower than the top surface of fin 100, and covers the partial sidewall of fin 100.
