Further, the gate structure of adjacent fin column side wall is discrete, to make to have not on different gate structures Same current potential, to realize different function.
Further, it is formed before dielectric layer, forms dummy gate structure, can be made by the etching of dummy gate structure subsequent Gate structure is discrete, so as to reduce the etching to gate structure.Since the material of the dummy gate structure can be partly to lead Body material, it is simpler to the etching technics of semiconductor material, so as to simplify technique.
In the semiconductor structure that technical solution of the present invention provides, there is the first grid in the fin column channel region sidewall surfaces The thickness of oxide layer and the second gate oxide, first gate oxide and the second gate oxide is not identical, then the semiconductor The threshold voltage of structure is unlikely to lower, and the first gate oxide of the semiconductor structure and the second gate oxide be not easy by Breakdown.

Specific embodiment
There are problems for the semiconductor structure of the prior art, such as: the performance of the semiconductor structure is poor.
Now in conjunction with a kind of semiconductor structure, the poor reason of the performance of the semiconductor structure is analyzed:
Since the substrate surface that traditional planar transistor occupies is larger, so as to cause semiconductor structure integrated level compared with It is low.In order to improve the integrated level of formed semiconductor structure, a kind of vertical nanowire transistor is proposed.
Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 is a kind of structural schematic diagram of each step of forming method of vertical nanowire transistor.
Referring to FIG. 1, providing substrate 130,130 surface of substrate has fin column 131, and the fin column 131 includes Bottom zone I, the channel region II on the I of bottom zone and the top region III on the channel region II.
It continues to refer to figure 1, oxidation processes is carried out to 131 side wall of fin column, form grid in 131 sidewall surfaces of fin column Oxide layer 110;It is formed after gate oxide 110, forms the first metal silicide for connecting the 131 bottom zone I of fin column 141;The second metal silicide 142 is formed in 131 top surface of fin column.
