  • Patent number: 10707134
    Abstract: FinFET structures and fabrication methods thereof are provided. An exemplary fabrication method includes forming a semiconductor substrate and a plurality of fins. First trenches and second trenches are formed between adjacent fins, and a width of the first trench is greater than a width of the second trench. The method also includes forming a first isolation layer on the semiconductor substrate exposed by the fins and on side surfaces of the fins. The first isolation layer containing an opening at the first trench. Further, the method also includes performing a first thermal annealing; forming a second isolation layer to fill the opening; removing a partial thickness of the first isolation layer and a partial thickness of the second layer to form an isolation structure; forming a gate structure across the plurality of fins; and forming doped source/drain regions in the fins at two sides of the gate structure.

  • Patent number: 10424599
    Abstract: Semiconductor structures are provided. A semiconductor structure includes a bottom substrate having a first region and a second region; an insulation layer formed on the bottom substrate in the first region; a top substrate on side surface of the trench and the insulation layer; a first fin portion formed over the insulation layer, and a gate structure crossing the first fin portion. The first fin portion is electrically isolated from the bottom substrate through the insulation layer to reduce the leakage current at the bottom of the first fin portion. The gate structure covers part of side and top surfaces of the first fin portion.
