Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of semiconductors, in particular to a fin structure manufacturing method for FinFETs.
Background
FinFETs are fully known as Fin Field-Effect transistors, and are called FinFETs in Chinese, and are new CMOS transistors.
In recent years, finfets have become a popular and mature advanced CMOS technology due to their advantages of increased transistor density and increased electrical performance. As line widths shrink to 16nm or less, the critical dimensions and depth of fin structures are increasingly challenging, with fin structures having aspect ratios of 6: 1; in this case, mechanical and structural imbalances where the fin structure becomes less powerful than the planar structure will result in some unexpected failures. The existing fin structure manufacturing method mainly comprises the following steps: forming a fin structure pattern, forming a fin structure, forming a substrate oxidation layer, trimming the fin structure, depositing the oxidation layer on the substrate, filling the groove and flattening, removing the mask, and performing back etching to form gate oxide.
Fin bending (Fin bending) is one of the many failures encountered in technology development, and typical Fin bending may lead to electrical or physical failures; the inclination angle of the structure leads to an asymmetric depletion region, so that the leakage current is larger than expected; at the same time, the fin bending compresses the metal gate deposition process window and is highly likely to form voids.

S7, trimming the fin structure to enable the fin structure to only exist right above the active region;
alternatively, step S7 includes the following sub-steps;
s7.1, removing two adjacent fin structures in the active region through the whole fin structure;
and S7.2, removing the part of the fin structure right above the active region, which is positioned outside the active region, and removing all the remaining fin structures positioned outside the active region.
