  • Patent number: 10043718
    Abstract: A method of fabricating a semiconductor device includes the following steps: providing a semiconductor substrate having a fin structure thereon; forming a recess in the fin structure so that the semiconductor substrate is partially exposed from the bottom surface of the recess; forming a dopant source layer conformally disposed on side surfaces and a bottom surface of the recess; removing the dopant source layer disposed on the bottom surface of the recess until portions of the semiconductor substrate are exposed from the bottom surface of the recess; and annealing the dopant source layer so as to form a side doped region in the fin structure.

  • Patent number: 10032672
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a semiconductor device includes the following steps: providing a semiconductor substrate having a first fin; forming a first set of gate structures on the first fin, where the gate structures are surrounded by an interlayer dielectric; forming a first contact hole in the interlayer dielectric between two adjacent gate structures; forming a first dopant source layer on the bottom of the first contact hole, where the dopant source layer comprise dopants with a first conductivity type; and annealing the first dopant source layer to diffuse the dopants out of the first dopant source layer.

  • Patent number: 9490360
    Abstract: Provided is a semiconductor device including a P-type substrate, a P-type first well region, an N-type second well region, a gate, N-type source and drain regions, a dummy gate and an N-type deep well region. The first well region is in the substrate. The second well region is in the substrate proximate to the first well region. The gate is on the substrate and covers a portion of the first well region and a portion of the second well region. The source region is in the first well region at one side of the gate. The drain region is in the second well region at another side of the gate. The dummy gate is on the substrate between the gate and the drain region. The deep well region is in the substrate and surrounds the first and second well regions. An operation method of the semiconductor device is further provided.
