Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a metal gate on a substrate, a polysilicon layer on the metal gate, a hard mask on the polysilicon layer, and a source/drain region adjacent to two sides of the metal gate. Preferably, the metal gate includes a ferroelectric (FE) layer on the substrate, a work function metal layer on the FE layer, and a low resistance metal layer on the work function metal layer.

Abstract: A method for fabricating semiconductor device includes the steps of: forming a gate structure on a substrate; forming an interlayer dielectric (ILD) layer around the gate structure; removing the gate structure to form a first recess; forming ferroelectric (FE) layer in the first recess; forming a compressive layer on the FE layer; performing a thermal treatment process; removing the compressive layer; and forming a work function metal layer in the recess.

Abstract: A manufacturing method of an epitaxial fin-shaped structure includes the following steps. A substrate is provided. A recess is formed in the substrate. An epitaxial layer is formed on the substrate. The epitaxial layer is partly formed in the recess and partly formed outside the recess. The epitaxial layer has a dent formed on the top surface of the epitaxial layer, and the dent is formed corresponding to the recess in a thickness direction of the substrate. A nitride layer is conformally formed on the epitaxial layer. An oxide layer is formed on the nitride layer. A first planarization process is performed to remove a part of the oxide layer, and the first planarization process is stopped on the nitride layer. The epitaxial layer in the recess is patterned for forming at least one epitaxial fin-shaped structure.

Abstract: A method for fabrication a nanosheet device includes providing forming a stacked layer on a substrate, having first material layers and second material layers in different materials, alternatingly stacked up. The stacked layer is patterned to a stacked fin. A dummy stack is formed on the stacked fin. An etching back process is performed with the dummy stack with spacers to etch the stacked fin and expose the substrate. Laterally etches the first material layers and the second material layers, to have indent portions. Inner spacers fill the indent portions. A first/second source/drain layer is formed on the substrate at both sides of the dummy stack. Etching process is performed to remove the dummy gate of the dummy stack and the selected one of the first material layers and the second material layers between the inner spacers. Metal layer fills between the spacers and the inner spacers.
