Abstract: A method for forming a semiconductor device is disclosed. A substrate having at least two fins thereon and an isolation trench between the at least two fins is provided. A liner layer is then deposited on the substrate. The liner layer conformally covers the two fins and interior surface of the isolation trench. A stress-buffer film is then deposited on the liner layer. The stress-buffer film completely fills a lower portion that is located at least below half of a trench depth of the isolation trench. A trench-fill oxide layer is then deposited to completely fill an upper portion of the isolation trench.

Abstract: A manufacturing method of a semiconductor device includes the following steps. A first stacked structure and a second stacked structure are formed on a core region and an input/output (I/O) region of a semiconductor substrate respectively. The first stacked structure includes a first patterned oxide layer, a first patterned nitride layer, and a first dummy gate. The second stacked structure includes a second patterned oxide layer, a second patterned nitride layer, and a second dummy gate. The first dummy gate and the second dummy gate are removed for forming a first recess above the core region and a second recess above the I/O region. A first gate structure is formed in the first recess and a second gate structure is formed in the second recess. The first patterned nitride layer is removed before the step of forming the first gate structure in the first recess.

Abstract: An HEMT includes a first III-V compound layer. A second III-V compound layer is disposed on the first III-V compound layer. The composition of the first III-V compound layer is different from the composition of the second III-V compound layer. A trench is disposed within the first III-V compound layer and the second III-V compound layer. The trench has a first corner and a second corner. The first corner and the second corner are disposed in the first III-V compound layer. A first dielectric layer contacts a sidewall of the first corner. A second dielectric layer contacts a sidewall of the second corner. The first dielectric layer and the second dielectric layer are outside of the trench. A gate is disposed in the trench. A source electrode and a drain electrode are respectively disposed at two sides of the gate. A gate electrode is disposed directly on the gate.

Abstract: A method for forming a semiconductor device is provided. A dielectric layer is formed on a substrate. First and second gate trenches are formed in the dielectric layer. First and second spacers are disposed in the first and the second gate trenches, respectively. A patterned photoresist is formed on the dielectric layer. The patterned photoresist masks the first region and exposes the second region. Multiple cycles of spacer trimming process are performed to trim a sidewall profile of the second spacer. Each cycle comprises a step of oxygen stripping and a successive step of chemical oxide removal. The patterned photoresist is then removed to reveal the first region.
