Abstract: A method for fabricating semiconductor device includes the steps of first forming a gate structure on a substrate, forming a contact etch stop layer (CESL) on the gate structure, forming an interlayer dielectric (ILD) layer around the gate structure, performing a curing process so that an oxygen concentration of the CESL is different from the oxygen concentration of the ILD layer, and then performing a replacement metal gate process (RMG) process to transform the gate structure into a metal gate.

Abstract: A semiconductor device and a method of forming the same, the semiconductor device includes a first and a second fin structures, a first, a second and a third isolation structures, and a first and a second gate structures. The first and second fin structures are disposed in a substrate. The first isolation structure is disposed in the substrate and surrounds the first and second fin structures. The second isolation structure is disposed in the first fin structure, and a top surface of the second isolation structure is leveled with a top surface of the first and second fin structures. The third isolation structure is disposed in the second fin shaped structure, and a top surface of the third isolation structure is lower than the top surface of the first and second fin structures. The first and second gate structures are disposed on the second and third isolation structures, respectively.
