Abstract: A sidewall image transfer (SIT) process is provided. First, a substrate is provided. A sacrificial layer having a pattern is formed on the substrate. A first measuring step is performed to measure a width of the pattern of the sacrificial layer. A material layer is formed conformally on the sacrificial layer, wherein a thickness of the material layer is adjusted according to the result of the first measuring step. Then, the material layer is removed anisotropically, so the material layer becomes a spacer on a sidewall of the sacrificial layer. Lastly, the sacrificial layer is removed.

Abstract: A method for fabricating semiconductor device is disclosed. The method includes the steps of: providing a substrate; forming a first material layer on the substrate; forming a stop layer on the first material layer; forming a second material layer on the stop layer; and performing a planarizing process to remove the second material layer, the stop layer, and part of the first material layer for forming a gate layer.

Abstract: A method of forming a fin structure is provided. First, a substrate is provided, wherein a first region, a second region encompassing the first region, and a third region encompassing the second region are defined on the substrate. Then, a plurality of first trenches having a first depth are formed in the first region and the second region, wherein each two first trenches defines a first fin structure. The first fin structure in the second region is removed. Lastly, the first trenches are deepened to form a plurality of second trenches having a second depth, wherein each two second trenches define a second fin structure. The present invention further provides a structure of a non-planar transistor.
