  • Patent number: 11152462
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductive substrate, a first semiconductive fin and a second semiconductive fin extending upwards from the semiconductive substrate, an isolation structure at least partially between the first semiconductive fin and the second semiconductive fin, a first semiconductive raised portion and a second semiconductive raised portion. The first semiconductive raised portion extends upwards from the semiconductive substrate, is buried under the isolation structure, and is between the first semiconductive fin and the second semiconductive fin. A top surface of the first semiconductive fin is higher than a top surface of the first semiconductive raised portion. The second semiconductive raised portion extends upwards from the semiconductive substrate, is buried under the isolation structure, and is between the first semiconductive raised portion and the second semiconductive fin.

  • Patent number: 11063039
    Abstract: A semiconductor device structure is provided. The semiconductor device structure includes a substrate having a first source region, a second source region, a first drain region, and a second drain region. The semiconductor device structure includes a first gate structure over the substrate and between the first source region and the first drain region. The semiconductor device structure includes a second gate structure over the substrate and between the second source region and the second drain region. A first thickness of the first gate structure is greater than a second thickness of the second gate structure. A first gate width of the first gate structure is less than a second gate width of the second gate structure.

  • Patent number: 10367059
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor structure includes the following steps. A first raised portion is formed on a semiconductor substrate. The height of the first raised portion is reduced, and a dielectric material is formed over the first raised portion. The dielectric material is annealed such that the first raised portion is tilted.
