Abstract:
A method of forming a semiconductor device is provided to increase the width of an aperture defined by a mask pattern to be equal to or greater than an upper width of a trench by isotropy-etching a mask pattern used for forming the trench. A mask pattern(112) having a first aperture is formed on a substrate. An active region and a field region are defined on the substrate. The first aperture opens a portion of the substrate. The substrate is etched by using the mask pattern as an etch mask, such that a first trench is formed on the active and field regions. A second aperture(118) is formed by isotropy-etching the mask pattern. The second aperture is greater than the first aperture. A second trench is formed by rinsing the substrate, such that a natural oxide film is removed from the substrate. An inner width of the first trench(116), which is formed in the field region, is selectively extended to form the second trench. A gate is formed in the second trench.

A chemical etchant is provided to selectively and uniformly etch one among impurity regions injected with the different impurity ions. A chemical etchant comprises a mixed solution consisting of a hydrofluoric acid(HF), nitric acid(HNO3), phosphoric acid(H3PO4), acetic acid(CH3COOH) and water. The volume composition ratio of hydrofluoric acid(HF), nitric acid(HNO3), phosphoric acid(H3PO4), acetic acid(CH3COOH) and water is respective 0.8 - 1.2 Vol%, 2.8 - 3.2 Vol%, 0.25 - 3.0 Vol%, 4.0 - 7.75 Vol% and 84.85 - 92.15 Vol%.

Abstract:
A method for fabricating an isolation layer of a fin-type FET is provided to remarkably decrease the number of process for fabricating a fin-type FET by forming isolation layers having different steps in the peripheral and cell regions of a substrate by a minimized process. A substrate(100) divided into a cell region and a peripheral region that are exposed to an opening of a hard mask pattern is etched to form a trench so that a silicon fin(110) is defined by the trench to be guaranteed as the channel region of the fin-type transistor. A liner layer(112) having substantially the same thickness is formed on the bottom and the top surfaces of the trench and on the surface of the hard mask pattern. A planarized insulation layer is formed to fill the trench having the liner layer. A photoresist pattern is formed to cover the insulation layer in the peripheral region. A part of the insulation layer in the cell region is firstly wet-etched to form an insulation layer pattern. The photoresist pattern is removed. While the liner layer and the hard mask pattern are removed by a second wet-etch process, the insulation layer in the cell region and a part of the upper part of the insulation layer pattern in the cell region are etched to form isolation layers(120a,120b) having different heights in the peripheral and cell regions.
