Description

Semiconductor device and method of forming the same
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor manufacturing, and more particularly, to a semiconductor device and a method for forming the same.
Background
With the rapid development of semiconductor technology, the feature size of semiconductor devices is continuously reduced, so that the integration level of integrated circuits is higher and higher, which also puts higher demands on the semiconductor manufacturing process. Etching is an important process in semiconductor manufacturing, and is a process of transferring a pattern on a mask onto a material layer, and as the feature size is continuously reduced, the etching process encounters a bottleneck due to the existence of a wavelength limit in the photoetching process, and etching of a trench with a smaller size cannot be provided.
To achieve smaller pitch dimensions, Multiple Patterning Lithography (MPL) has been developed. Two forms of MPL have been tried, one using repetitive photolithographic processing (photo-etch-photo or LELE) techniques, and the other based on self-aligned spacer processing. The self-aligned spacer process is advantageous when fabricating fins of FinFET structures.
The self-aligned spacer process is commonly referred to as a self-aligned dual process (SADP). In SADP, a set of mandrels is formed photolithographically by patterning and etching a mandrel material. Sidewall spacers may then be formed on the sidewalls of the mandrel. The formation of the sidewall spacers may be accomplished by depositing material over the mandrel material, removing the deposited material on horizontal surfaces, and removing the mandrel material, leaving the sidewall spacers. The deposition of the sidewall spacers may result in a spacer width that is much smaller than the spacer width available for photolithographic formation of the mandrel. The sidewall spacers and mandrels may then be polished to expose the mandrels and spacers that serve as an etch mask to remove the remaining mandrel material. The SADP process involves forming spacers as film layers on the sidewalls of a pre-patterned mandrel, removing the spacer layer from horizontal surfaces, and removing the initially patterned mandrel material while leaving the spacers themselves. Since there are two sidewall spacers per mandrel, the linear density is doubled. Thus, SADP is suitable for defining narrow fins at half the initial lithographic pitch.
However, the pitch of the fins formed by SADP is difficult to adjust due to the limitations of the photolithography process.
